The Indian peacock is a large ground-dwelling bird native to South Asia. Males reach 2.0–2.3 m in total length including the train and weigh 4–6 kg, while females are smaller. Peafowls inhabit forest edges, parks, and agricultural landscapes, are active during the day, and are famous for their elaborate courtship displays. IUCN status: Least Concern (LC).
Peacocks require a spacious dry enclosure: 15–20 m² per pair, with a height of 2.5–3 m, perches, shelters, and a firm substrate. Provide shade, dust baths, and protection from predators. In winter, a well-ventilated shelter is needed at 0–5 °C without drafts.
Omnivorous diet: 40–50% grain mix, complete pellets for pheasants or peafowls, greens, vegetables, and animal protein sources. Always provide mineral supplements, grit, and fresh water. Young birds require higher protein content for proper growth.
Breeding occurs in spring. Males may keep several females simultaneously during courtship. Clutches typically contain 3–6 eggs, incubated for 27–30 days at 37.5 °C and 55–60% humidity. Chicks are raised in brooders starting at 32–35 °C with gradual weekly decreases of 2–3 °C. Maintain hygiene, coccidiosis prevention, and deworming routines.
