Trick or Treat!

If local birds could choose Halloween costumes, many would undoubtedly don the iridescent feathers of the male peacock. Blue peacocks hail from India and Sri Lanka, while green peacocks live in Myanmar and Java. Peafowl, the name given to both males and females, are the largest members of the pheasant family. Females are referred to as peahens. Peafowl typically live about 20 years.
