Pavo cristatus
The term "peacock" is commonly used to refer to birds of both sexes. Technically, only males are peacocks. Females are peahens, and together, they are called peafowl. A male peafowl is one of the largest flying birds when the combined length of its train and its large wingspan are considered.
The blue peacock lives in India and Sri Lanka, while the green peacock is found in Java and Myanmar (Burma). A more distinct and little-known species, the Congo peacock, inhabits African rain forests.
I particularly liked the picture of the female completely ignoring the male. "She's just not that into you" Not her type apparently
