Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 162
The male Peafowl is a bird to be admired.
While doing a little research about this bird a few things surprised me,
like the fact that they can live up to 50 years.
Peacocks are the national bird of India.
Peacocks lose their tail feathers which number between 150 and 200.
This occurs every year after mating season.
Females are not called Peacocks, but rather Peahens.
Their trains can reach up to six feet long, but this doesn't stop them from flying even if just for short distances.
A big thank you to @melinda010100 @barbara-orenya and @nelinoeva for this week's contest.

Some time ago I also went to the zoo and saw them very closely. They are very beautiful.

STOPReally, up to 50 years! This is amazing. I did not know that.
The peacock is such a beauty, wonderful choice for your entry.🙂
I was also surprised by how long they can live. I wonder if females have a longer lifespan than males like it is with people.
Peahens are able to out-fly the cumbersome males, she has a way and means of escaping the harem every so often !LOLZ

Thank you for the LUV my friend.
Always come back for some strange reasons unbeknown.... 🙃
Absolutely beautiful bird. I liked this shot in particular with the light across its tail feathers and the grass.
It's funny you like this one. I went back and forth with which one I would use for the contest.
Can't go wrong with either. They both show how unique this bird truly is.
