What are some interesting facts about peafowl or peahens or peacocks or even peachicks?
Peacocks use their long tail feathers to attract peahens for mating. They raise them and fan them and strut around showing off. While they do this they also will intermittently shake their tails and wings to make a loud rustling sound to get attention. They also will turn their backs to the females while this ritual is ongoing so they can wag their short tail feathers that are underneath the long ones quickly back and forth, which also adds to the rustling sounds of the feathers. The girls seem to really like this part of the dance.
