National Bird - India

The Indian peacock, Pavo Cristatus (Linnaeus), the national bird of India, is a colourful, swan-sized bird, with a fan-shaped crest of feathers on its head, a white patch under the eye and a long-slender neck. 
The male of the species is more colourful than the female, with a glistening blue breast and neck and a spectacular bronze-green train of around 200 elongated feathers. 
It is a symbol of grace, joy, beauty and love. Peacock is a large and majestic bird. Peacock occupies a respectable position in Indian culture and is protected not only by religious sentiments but also by parliamentary statue.
