Blue peacock

The blue peacock is a real eye-catcher! With its iridescent blue-green plumage and impressive fan of feathers, it attracts everyone's attention. Originally from India, it now lives in many parks and gardens. Did you know that only the males have the magnificent feathers? The females are rather inconspicuously colored so that they are well camouflaged in the wild.

Three blue peacocks live in the pheasantry and their names are Ralf, Renate and Regina.
