Peacock

Peacocks are large, colourful pheasants (typically blue and green) known for their iridescent tails. These tail feathers, or coverts, spread out in a distinctive train that is more than 60 percent of the bird’s total body length and boast colourful "eye" markings of blue, gold, red, and other hues. The large train is used in mating rituals and courtship displays. It can be arched into a magnificent fan that reaches across the bird's back and touches the ground on either side. Females are believed to choose their mates according to the size, colour, and quality of these outrageous feather trains.

parrots ( psittacines)

A green parrot is a visual delight in any house. When I bought my first green parrot it changed the entire look and feel of the house. Any green parrot feeds on selected seeds, high quality proteins, carbohydrates, lean chicken and boiled vegetables.

The hawk-headed parrot may be loosely called a green parrot because its upperparts are greeen. A moustache parakeet is also a green parrot with a grey head marked with bluish tinge. The eye area is washed with green. The young sun conure has feathers which are predominantly green making it again a green parrot. Amazons, Senegals and others may belong to the green parrot family.
