Indian Blue Peacock
Peafowl were extensively raised by the Romans for both the table as well as for ornamental purposes. Medieval Europe carried on the barberous act of eating peafowl and it was only after the 1600th Century, when turkeys were imported from Mexico, that the peacock was discarded as a table bird for the more fleshy American birds. Fortunately, few of the peacock species are used for food today, except in some of the more remote and less civilized places where they are found in nature.
For the most part the Imperator and the Muticus subspecies of the Green Peafowl are very simulare in appearence with the differences being noticeable only on close examination. These two subspecies as well and the Indian Blue are the most common peafowl found in North America. Today there are many different colors and breeds have been produced by man, including mottled, white, and a black-winged variety. Peafowl, particularly the brightly colored peacock, are one of our favorite captive birds, well suited for parks, zoos, and other domestic situations.
