A peacock is the male of the peafowl.

Peacock pheasants are a bird genus, Polyplectron, introduced in 1807 by Dutch zoologist Temminck.

These pheasants are distantly related to peafowl.

According to its scientific classification, their closest allies are the Asiatic spurfowl & the crimson-headed Partridge, endemic to Borneo.

(source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)

There are different species all over Asia, ranging from Malaysia to India to China.

When threatened, the peacock-pheasant will alter its shape using specialized plumage that reveals numerous iridescent orbs when expanded. In addition, the male can have up to 150 brightly colored feathers on its tail coverts.
