Most of us perhaps wonder about where do peacocks live in the real world. We might also have had an experience of gazing at these birds in the zoo behind cage but never able to figure out the actual peacocks habitat.
According to a seven-year-old research which was carried out in Japan, the peahens look considerably different from the male’s plumage. However, some other studies reveal out that these plumage differences are too little to be noted. In general, peafowl are regarded as polygamous. They are the only flightless birds that take trees as their roosting place. For the same reason they are not wholly considered as flightless birds.
