The peacock is one of the most striking birds in the world, known for its shimmering beauty and graceful display. They live in mangrove forests. Their most famous feature is their colourful tail, which they spread out like a fan during courtship, as the male fans the feathers in a wide arc to create a breathtaking show meant to impress the female. The feathers shine with blue, green, and gold colours, and the eye-like patterns make the bird look very beautiful. Peacocks are known for their bright blue necks, long legs, and loud calls. They are strong birds that can fly short distances, even though their tails are long. Beyond their beauty, their calls are loud and distinctive, especially during the breeding season when males call out to attract mates or warn others of danger. Peacocks are also highly symbolic in many cultures. They are seen as symbols of royalty, pride, and elegance, admired not only for their appearance but also for their confident and graceful nature just like the Onikoyi’s.
