The male is called a peacock, the female a peahen. The male peacock flares out its feathers when it is trying to get the female's attention. They are omnivorous and eat ticks, termites, ants, locusts, mice, plant parts, flower petals, seed heads, scorpions and other arthropods, reptiles, and amphibians.
