wth is the random spooky music for throughout this whole thing lmaoooo
True. I was wondering if they don't know that's scary movie music.
It was grating on my nerves so much. Glad it was not just me and my neurosis... 😅
I thought i was the obly one that noticed it. I think the music off of that show unsolved mysteries from back in the day lol
I think I've heard this is some true cime podcasts. Not really the score I would recommend for a video on fabulous Gucci Turkeys.
Like who the fuck talks about bird facts with random horror movies music so bizarre and mildly irritating
Science: Blue is an extremely rare color to find in nature.
Peacocks: Peasants
I love it 🤣🤣🤣
Most birds are also laughing, like the macaw, robin, birds in the tropics, and some ducks
Ba-dum-tss
🤣
it is actually nonexistent
Dog: woof
Duck: quack
Peacock:MEOW
Cat has entered the chat
more like a more beautiful meow or a peow

If you’ve been within a mile of a peacock it is far more than a mere meow. It is extremely loud and even annoying. It may sound a bit like a cat but only a cat that also has an enormous amplifier and speaker.
Growing up in rural Canada I had a neighbor who kept exotic animals from an old circus. My Mom and aunt always claimed he had a full roster of retired animals on his farm. Apparently my grandfather helped him find his blind lion in the woods, and my Mom once found a leopard in the barn. By the time I was born he only had a Zebra and a flock of Peacocks. Having encountered peacocks around my farm and nearby woods it never occurred to me that peacocks weren't native to Canada until seeing this video. I always knew the birds were special but I really was lucky to have seen them as much as I did growing up.
They're so majestic. They should be protected to avoid extinction like the dodo bird.
So true
Extremely true Peacock’s and Peahens are beautiful
They're bred in captivity, they're definitely not going to go extinct anytime soon since we would have enough of the population to be able to reintroduce should anything happen to those in the wild
@@UlexiteTVStoneLexite It's not that, it's actually that there won't be any habitat left for them in the wild to reintroduce any too.
@@persephone2706 but that is something we can fix also.
One of Gods most beautiful creations! ❤️
I really should be doing homework
*Continues to watch videos about peacocks*
Why is this so relatable 🥲🥲
The Peacock is the national bird of India 🇮🇳
I already knew that but thanks anyway
@@deezy2923 But it has been introduced throughout the country due it's colorful iridescent feathers
That's why I see India PM Narendra Modi feeding a peacock.
I live in the usa and they live on my block and they aren't pets they are wild and i see them all the time
@@Rawtgachatube I know, they're wild animals, but now domesticated
Such a beautiful bird
*Creepy music plays*
"Peahens lay up to 3 eggs"
I'm sorry?
Peacocks are so beautiful, i dont get how anyone can hunt or eat them.
just bc they beautiful dont mean we cant hunt them
@@Diego-ud3nb and thats why this world cant have nice things : )
@@drippytv6575 i mean i dont hunt peacocks nor do i eat them but animals were meant to be killed or eaten sooo
@@Diego-ud3nb uhh cool?
Romans eat them.all the time.
Their calls sound like a cute kitty calling it’s mama for food 😭🥺😍 I am forever in total and absolute awe about this & many other creations of the Most High 😩 God really said “here’s a piece of paradise for my children” 😭😭😭😭🤩🥺🥰
we are not god's children. we are his creation
@@thedictationofallah We Christians believe we're God's children as well as creations.
the peacocks sound like a meow
@@alaraimi3779 no
I worked with a pair of green peafowl. The females are similar in color to the males, but without the fancy tail feathers. The males shed their fancy long feathers after nesting season. Hey- they have already romanced the ladies, so why carry around all of the extra weight? Our male would still fan out his tail to impress our female when he only had a few scraggly-looking tail feathers left. She was not impressed. They did have a pair of chicks during the third year that I worked with them, and she was a VERY protective mamma!
Overall a good video but like most documentary it rearly explain why female peahen is doll color, it's because they need to be camouflage when incubating eggs and rearing chicks.
They are very beautiful birds, I was once in Florida and there was this event where you can meet macaws and other birds it was like a jungle forest place in Florida, and there was a Peacock in a tree and it flew down, I’ve never seen a Peacock so close up in my life. There were SO many Peacocks there, females and males. There were beautiful Macaws there too! I love Peacocks!!
✨🦚🌴🦚✨
Around the Brandon FL area there are quite a few that are wild. No one messes with them (at least when I lived there) with one male being named "Kyle" but a neighborhood I lived in.
My grandparents kept a couple as well. Remember my grandfather telling me to never turn your back on them in close proximity, though. Allegedly they will attack.
Protect them at all cost!!!!
Peacocks are also the largest living gamebirds, they are also members of the family Gallidae, which also includes chickens and francolins.
How hardened must the souls be to call this beautiful bird a game bird so that they can kill it? I am amazed by the state of their minds.
@@buntipapu3816gamebird means a bird hunted for sport or food. Hunting for sport is hella weird to me, but hunting for food is completely different.
feathers expand “6 ft”
peckcock be like :CoRoNA StaY AwAy 👁👄👁
😂
Cringe
When I lived in south Florida, I would see these all the times just strolling through my backyard
i was blown away by the fact that the Peacock's tale emits a low frequency. only a great designer can create a bird like this..something like that could not just happen from nothing it is not logical.
Amen 🙏🏽
That is circular reasoning.

You are much enlightened
Owls have 2 toes in front, 2 in back, like parrots (fact stated incorrectly in this video). Also, peafowl can swim. Webbed feet does not make a difference. Turkeys and chickens can swim as well, if anyone wondered. They paddle like ducks, just without webbed feet. Their feathers keep them from sinking.
Owl talons aren't really like parrot feet, Owl talons are designed as three toes facing forward, one toe facing back, But Owls can rotate one of their forward facing toes to the back.
Why do i feel like peacock is like a myth but real
I know right
Peacock the national bird of India.
In Tamilnadu, the southern most state in India, peacock is highly respected worshiped along with Lord muruga the ancient God...
Here in my hometown coimbatore, peacocks are everywhere.. Easily one can see... None dare to harm or hunt it.. Instead all of us cherish its beautiful and prosperity.. But the farmers would suffer while they start expedition in grain field.. Paddy field.. But, none dares harming..if anyone did they are imprisoned and fine under wildlife protection Act, and protection of endangered species Act, and protection of nation al bird act. And so many acts like that
Thank you for informing us. I would have never known.
The peacock (Παγώνι/pagóni) was the sacred animal/symbol of Goddess Hera (Ήρα)
She was depicted many times with a peacock standing near to her.
The legend says that once someone killed her favourite beast Άργος/Árgos, a beast with many eyes.
Hera was sad about that! She took all of Àrgos’ eyes and she putted them on the tail of her beloved bird, the peacock 🦚
Or maybe she turned Àrgoś into a Peacock. ^>^
Why do you say "she"? there are male peacocks too.
@@jupiter_ios he meant Hera.
Hera took the eyes of Argos and putted them into peacock’s tail.
She, Hera.
@@Kolious_Thrace I thought he meang every peacock
@@Kolious_Thrace what does hero mean
They are beautiful….. it I didn’t know they made such a loud noise!
So happy that the green peacock lives in burma wich i live
It's literally our national bird
Ruthless and pretty. 🦚
Well captured ! The peacock is the most beautiful bird in the world.
During spring, the males are so overly active they will shrek at the sound of thunder or a car door just incase it's another male.
Bots above __-Beware-__

🦚 Peacock: The Resplendent Symbol of Beauty ✨
Introduction:
The peacock, with its mesmerizing plumage and enchanting courtship rituals, is a creature that captures the imagination and symbolizes beauty. 🌈 In this article, we will explore the world of peacocks, delving into their appearance, behavior, and cultural significance. 🦚💫
Appearance and Features:
The peacock, scientifically known as Pavo cristatus, is a large and colorful bird belonging to the pheasant family. 💖🌿 Males, known as peacocks, are renowned for their extravagant plumage. Their long, iridescent tail feathers, known as a train, display vibrant hues of blue, green, and gold. 🌈✨ The train, which can measure up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) in length, is adorned with eye-shaped patterns called ocelli. When the male fans out his train in a spectacular display, it creates a breathtaking sight. 🌟💃
Behavior and Courtship Displays:
The courtship displays of peacocks are legendary and have fascinated observers for centuries. During the mating season, male peacocks engage in a remarkable performance to attract the attention of peahens. 💃💖 They spread their tail feathers into a stunning fan, elevating them vertically while vibrating their wings and emitting a series of distinctive calls. 🌿🎶
The vibrant display of the peacock is an elaborate courtship ritual designed to impress potential mates. The shimmering colors and intricate patterns of the train captivate the peahens, who select their partners based on the quality and attractiveness of the display. 🌈💕 The more impressive the display, the greater the chances of successful courtship. 💃🌟
Habitat and Distribution:
Peacocks are native to the Indian subcontinent and can be found in countries such as India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. 🗺️🦚 They inhabit a variety of habitats, including forests, grasslands, and cultivated areas. Due to their popularity, peacocks have also been introduced to other parts of the world, including the United States, where they can thrive in suitable climates. 🌍🌿
Cultural Significance and Symbolism:
The peacock holds a special place in many cultures and religions. In Hindu mythology, the peacock is associated with the deity Lord Krishna, who is often depicted wearing peacock feathers in his crown. 🙏🌸 In Greek and Roman mythology, the peacock is linked to the goddess Hera and represents immortality, beauty, and rebirth. 🌟🦚
Peacock motifs and symbolism can be found in art, literature, and architecture across different civilizations. Their vibrant colors and graceful appearance have inspired artists and designers throughout history. 🎨💫
Conservation Status and Protection:
While the peacock is not currently classified as endangered, conservation efforts are crucial to protect its habitat and ensure its long-term survival. 🌿🌍 Habitat destruction, illegal trade, and hunting pose significant threats to peacock populations. 🚫🦚
Efforts are being made to raise awareness about the importance of conservation and sustainable practices. Strict laws and regulations are in place in many countries to protect these beautiful birds and their habitats. 🌍🌿✨
Conclusion:
The peacock's resplendent plumage and captivating courtship displays make it a true symbol of beauty and elegance. 🌈💫 Its vibrant colors and graceful movements have enchanted people for centuries, inspiring awe and admiration. By appreciating and safeguarding the natural habitats of peac
ocks, we can ensure the continued existence of this magnificent bird and preserve its legacy for future generations to admire and cherish. 🦚🌿💖
Thank you very much for get knowing about the great things
In Florida they're wild and my grandparents used to have a couple. They are some very loud birds.
Doesn’t “fashion” apply to most male birds?
He's a gentleman covering their love life
Wow Perfekt...
Love this video. We have about 50 or so here in a neighborhood in Texas. I try and capture all kinds of videos of their beauty, antics and peachicks growing up.
In hindi they called " Mayoor " . I noticed this name very similar to the sound they make .
The occasional ominous/mysterious music in this video cracks me up
The peacock is in the official seal of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, the home of the Underground River, one of the new Seven Wonders of Nature.
I learned a lot. Birds are pretty Epic. Iove them more and more.
I wonder if people from ancient times used to think these are phoenixes
A voice that only a peahen could appreciate but an appearance everyone can enjoy.
I enjoyed this video and peacocks might be my next favorite bird
Very cool! I need to record more footage 😀
In my colony peacocks are common as there are more than 200 peacocks
Peacock's lover
Wow. Love your channel ‼️❤️🌹

Great video. Except for the evil ominous halloween music that kept playing. Kept making me think a killer was going to jump into the scene.
That peacock sounded like a feathered cat.
That's a nice support animal 👏🏾
50 years! Aww Man!🥺
Very Informational Video... 👍
This great
Tiger: THEY ARE JUST OVER DECORATED TURKEYS!!
Super 💕
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans
. The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.
If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as it's impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction).
He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.
He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and ask Him to help us in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.
NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER
If you have any questions let me know
Wise and gorgeous king 👑💖👑
The random spooky music is killing me 💀

02:18 - about peacocks trains
02:29 - colors of trains
03:02 - peacock feathers have unique micropic structures
03:26 - peacock trains only develops after 3 years
I heard it scream in a house, i had never seen one before. I was so scared and shocked. Then i saw it on the tree looking down at me like some dragon lol
This music has me looking over my shoulder for Michael Myers
Usually blue pigment doesn't exist in birds so they use structural feathers. Best example would be budgies as you get white-blue without yellow pigment and yellow-green with the yellow pigment
I wouldn't surprised as they are interested in humans since average human has skin tones of peahen feathers. And similar sized even though humans still doubles the volume and triples the weight.
How can someone hunt this beautiful bird? 😢
I didn't know they flew
For some reason I didn’t think they could fly. lol
it's called peacock bloom, get it? Peekaboo xD
RIP Headphones
When I was little the sound the peacock made used to scare the heck out of me now it doesn’t bother me
Now I no everything about peacock
I am going to have a pet peacock
REALLY
please protect them......
thanks for making this video
You said "Myanmar and Burma", but those are different names for the same country. Also, there are no poisonous snakes, you mean venomous.
What's up with those "suspicious music" bits?
