Peacock Flying Viral Video: Watching a peacock/ peafowl unfurling its multicoloured, vibrant, and full feathers is a rare sight. What is even rare is to see this beautiful bird in flight and that too for a fairly long distance.
This is what the viral video that we are sharing with you shows. A peacock is perched on what looks like an electricity cable and then it takes off. Its flight trajectory is captured from different angles and it is an awesome moment.

It is widely seen and believed that peacocks are not exactly birds of flight and can manage only short distances that too at a low level. But nature never fails to amaze us.
Peacocks are also called peafowls. Only the male peafowls have eye-catching colors and lovely decorative tail feathers.
Male peacocks unfurling or fanning out their feathers is called train rattling. They do it to woo a potential mate.
Though both males and females are colloquially called by the same name, the word “peacock” refers to the male and “peahen” to the female.
Peacocks take years to develop colorful tail feathers.
The peacock was designated as the National Bird of India in 1963.
Peahens are picky when choosing a mate.
They were once food for the wealthy.
Peacocks can be fully white. This trait can be achieved by selective breeding.
