peacock in flight
DESCRIPTION
孔雀展尾見過 , 展翅少見 !!! 中國的先民常觀測天象，所以知道太陽的運行...... 因為羨慕鳥禽能自由飛翔，魚兒能潛淵，常將它們刻 劃在器物上,先民們崇天敬祖的精神一直流傳到現在. 我們親自去觀賞孔雀展尾已是不易見到，只能在網路 中欣賞，至於孔雀展翅更是少見,據說孔雀羽毛能避邪 ，在家中會插在瓶中，清朝時官吏也將它插在帽頂， 當它飛翔天空時那姿勢如此優美，可媲美鳳凰呢 .....TRANSCRIPT

PEAFOWL
PEAFOWLPeafowl are three Asiatic species of flying bird in the genus Pavo of the pheasant family, Phasianidae, best known for the male's extravagant eye-spotted tail, which it displays as part of courtship.

PEAFOWLPeafowl are omnivorous and eat most plant parts, flower petals, seed heads, insects and other arthropods, reptiles, and amphibians. In common with other members of the Galliformes, males possess metatarsal spurs or "thorns" used primarily during intraspecific fights.

PEAFOWLCharles Darwin first theorized in On the Origin of Species that the peacock's plumage had evolved through sexual selection. This idea was expanded upon in his second book, The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex.
