Perhaps the most beautiful feather of all belongs to the peafowl, more commonly known as the name of the male of the species - the peacock. He displays his stunning array of feathers as part of a mating ritual to attract the much less colorful females, known as peahens.
There are two species of peafowl, the Indian and the Green. The Green is considered an endangered species.
