Originally from eastern Asia, Indian peacocks have bright blue feathers over much of their heads, necks and chest. These are commonly seen in zoos in the United States. An Indian peacock has brightly colored tail plumage fashioned with eye-shaped dots you can see when he fans out his train, and it takes him about five to six years to develop his full feather display. Peahens are attracted to his color and size during courtship. The Indian peacock also has a tall fan of feathers on his crest, or the top of his head.
