Yes, peafowls, including peacocks and peahens, are capable of short, low flights. They use their wings to glide and gain some height, but they are not strong fliers and prefer to spend most of their time on the ground.
Yes there are peacocks in Morocco. In the Zoo, Luxery Hotels and Clubs etc.
In the Wild, I don't know.
a peacock that is mature is roughly the size of a small turkey (hen) and weigh about 9 to 13 pounds. the brilliant tail plume that they display so proudly makes up over 60% of their length and when fanned can be almost 5 feet tall and wide. they are very aware of their beauty and are quite arrogant they rule the barnyard. they are actually pheasants and can live up to 40-50 years in captivity and 15-20 in the wild
If the peacock is in very grave danger it will do 100 yards, peace of cake and can reach speeds up to 40-50 mph. That would be very rare, but I garantee you I have seen this happen with my own eyes back in India!
Peahens dont have that many feathers. They are like a hen. Peacocks (a male peacock) are the only birds that have big feather that spread out in the back.
There are less than 10, 000 peacock left.
Do you want to lose this beautiful bird?
Don' your generations see this bird?
Peacock is the most beautiful and amazing large long tailed bird in the world. Peacock is more attractive than peahen, because peacock has a big crest. We call peacock for male and female, but the truth is that female is peahen.
They are very shy, nut they can live many in the same place.
They eat many kinds of seeds, grains, nuts, fruit, leaves, roots, slugs, worms and insects.
Peacocks like to be in coastal lowland and deep forest.
Weight: 4 - 6 kg

They are in danger
What do you think about the plight of peacocks? They also have soul like us, think a few minutes. Then you will realize……
Wild peacocks are ground foragers. They thrive on a variety of insects and plants along with the occasional small creature. Surprisingly, peacocks have a taste for snakes, including poisonous ones, and have been known to follow their slithering prey for entertainment before eating them.
Wild peacocks that roam grounds bordering farms, ranches and preserves are often supplemented with game-bird feed and cracked corn. These grains can also be found at feed stores to feed domesticated peacocks. Keep in mind when allowing wild peacocks into open areas of personal property that they will eat anything with bright colors, especially white, regardless of whether it is edible or garbage.
Domesticated peacocks are pampered in the fact that they do not have to work hard for their meals. The household peacock still eats insects and plants and enjoys additions of cat food, bread, cheese and cooked rice. Flower gardens are in constant danger around peacocks; not only do they eat the flowers searching for bugs, they eat them when they are bored. Peacocks also enjoy the grubs that are found in vegetable gardens, often grazing on the green lawns along the way.
My husband and I were just in the swimming pool in our back yard in Georgia, and there is a peacock walking around the bird feeders and just wandering around like he was home.
theaverage peacock is usually the height and weight of an four year old
no because a pecock can mate a turkey but a turkey wont mate a pecock
Where on EARTH did you come up with a question so rediculous ? Peacocks don't hurt the environment, they don't hurt ANYONE. They enhance the environment by providing a beautiful display of splendid, rich colors and patterns for anyone to enjoy.
Screw the environment. Worry about your soul !
Rainforests and forests are where you find them in the wild.
Actually, a peacock does not lay eggs, a peahen does. The males are called Peacocks and the females are peahens. Together, they are called peafowl... go figure. NE way, I think that they can lay 3-5 eggs at a time. You may want to research the topic online by using a search engine to find a more accurate answer for the exact number. have a good day!
The peacock might drown when it swims in gravy.
Wolf Spiders are carnivores (mostly insectivores) because they eat other animals, mostly insects.
by using their feathers. as u can see if a peacock lays out or shows his/her feathers it looks like their is thousands of eyes. so by using their feather they defend themselves from their prey. if that doesn't work then i think they run!!
Yes, you can if the 2 males grew up together but without any pea-hens present because by breeding season they will naturally fight .
Not really, since they are born to stay away from predators. However, all birds have a similar trait of considering the first moving thing they see is their parent, which usually is true, excepts in different cases, where the first thing a peachick sees is a human. In this case, the peacock or peahen would like the human.
Peacocks are the males of the species so they dont give birth at all, the peahen (or peafowl) will lay an egg like any normal bird. I'm assuming that this question is as a result of hearing that "whos the owner of the peacocks egg?" trick question.I found that rather confusing aswell, because you dont immeadiately recall that the peacock has a different name to the female, unlikea robin or a sparrow for instance.
