Inspiration: Peafowl

Every few years, including this one, feathers take up a prominent place in the world of design.  Decor pieces, jewelry, accents to flower bouquets - feathers are everywhere.

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.
