I ran a cross the street to take these photos in the park, which is pretty funny given that all of these birds sped 95% of their time -- in my yard! #howluckyami #beautiful #indiablue #peacock https://www.instagram.com/p/CKAL7y0HEL3/?igshid=bno6yp1tmggq

INDIA PEAFOWL or BLUE PEAFOWL in courtship display Pavo cristatus ©Laura Quick Peacocks are polygamous, and usually reach sexual maturity at the age of 2 to 3 years old. Several males may congregate at a lek site, these males are often closely related. Males at lek appear to maintain small territories next to each other (like my front porch) and allow females to visit them but make no attempt to guard harems. Females do not appear to favor specific males. The males display in courtship by raising the upper-tail coverts into an arched fan. The wings are held half open and drooped and it periodically vibrates the long feathers producing a ruffling sound. The cock faces the hen initially and struts and prances around and sometimes turns around to display the tail. Males may also freeze over food to invite a female in a form of courtship feeding. Males display even in the absence of females. When a male is displaying, females do not appear to show any interest and usually continue their foraging. #indiablue #peafowl #peacock #pavocristatus #©lauraquick #bird #animal #birdsofinstagram #losangeles #lek #diurnal #omnivore #courtship #display https://www.instagram.com/p/B6AiDazHJwz/?igshid=18hgjjhhwn6lh

Peacock seems a little bent out of shape that I sat down on a stair between him, and his potential mate. Every time he did his dance his train feathers would slide a across my face. #peacock #indiablue #peacock #bird #animal #©lauraquick #losangeles #california #homelufe #gofigure #photojourney #farmlife #beautiful https://www.instagram.com/p/By8yKmVnsFJ/?igshid=9qqta87v6v03
