The peacock, known for its dazzling plumage and iconic tail feathers, is a true symbol of beauty in the animal kingdom. Native to South Asia but found in reserves worldwide, peacocks are famous for their vibrant blue and green hues and the mesmerizing "eye" patterns on their tail feathers.
In reserves, peacocks roam freely in environments designed to replicate their natural habitats, such as forests and grasslands. Male peacocks use their elaborate tails to attract females during courtship displays, creating breathtaking spectacles for visitors.
Beyond their beauty, peacocks serve an essential role in their ecosystems by controlling pest populations and dispersing seeds. Reserves ensure these birds are protected from habitat loss and illegal poaching for their feathers. Visitors leave these reserves with a deeper appreciation for the ecological importance of these "living jewels."
