General Description:
There are seven species of peacock pheasant, and all are stunningly beautiful; most of the males having iridescent eyes, or ocelli on their wings and tail. The males clear 'stages' for themselves in the forst, and then use these ocelli in brilliant displays, for courtship purposes. Some form lasting pair-bonds, and some do not. The males in many of the species notably tend to die off in the prime of their life. Peacock pheasants are actually cultivated as pets in some regions, and some species become remarkably tame. Most species are Vulnerable or Endangered due to habitat destruction.
