National Bird Of India.

 Author: Saachi Gulati

Hi, guys today I am going to tell you about our national bird. Let’s go ahead and start.
The Indian peacock, Pavo cristatus, The national bird of India, is a colorful, swan-sized Bird with a fan-shaped crest of feathers, a white patch under the eye, and a long, slender neck. The peacock is a beautiful bird. And it’s our national bird.
The male peacock is more colorful than the female with a glistening blue breast and neck and a spectacular bronze-green tail of around many feathers. The female is brownish, slightly smaller than the male, and lacks a tail. Peacock occupies a respectable position in Indian culture and is protected not only by religious sentiments but also by our government.
In south India, the peacock is considered as a 'vahana' or vehicle of lord Muruga.
In India, people believe that whenever the cock spread its tails in an ornamental fashion, it indicates that rain is imminent. In a way, it is partly true. At the sight of dark clouds, the bird outspreads its tail and starts dancing rhythmically.
They are found wild in India (and also domesticated in villages) they live in jungle lands near water. They were once bred for food but now hunting of peacocks is banned in India. The peahen has no plumage. These birds do not sound as beautiful as they look they have a harsh call.
In 1963, the peacock was declared the National Bird of India because of its rich religious and legendary involvement in Indian traditions. A peacock is a living rainbow. A peacock alone has the whole world of colors. The richness of colors gives it a heavenly beauty. A peacock represents the very essence of Indian philosophy.
