With its massive tail and iridescent colors, this bird has long fascinated its human observers—and we're still learning its secrets. The peacock's tail feathers spread out in a distinctive train consisting of more than 60 percent of the bird's total body length. This large train is used in mating rituals and courtship displays. It can be arched into a magnificent fan that reaches across the bird's back and touches the ground on either side. Females are believed to choose their mates according to the size, color, and quality of these outrageous feather trains.
The peacock fans its ornamented train for the ladies during mating season, its feathers quiver, emitting a low-frequency sound inaudible to human ears. Whether they want to attract females from far away or up close, they can change the sound by shaking different parts of their feathers.
What makes the peacock's feathers so brilliant is its microscopic "crystal-like structures" that reflect different wavelengths of light depending on how they're spaced, resulting in bright fluorescent colors.
We at King's love and appreciate the exquisite beauty of nature.
