Peacocks (Male Peahens)
The Indian peacock has iridescent blue and green plumage, mostly metallic blue and green. These feathers are marked with eyespots, best seen when a peacock fans his tail. A peacock's copulation success rate depends on the colours of his eyespots (ocelli) and the angle at which they are displayed. The peafowl is native to India and significant in its culture. In Hinduism, the Indian peacock is the mount of the god of war, Lord Kartikeya.
