Favourite bird

Birds are a beautiful creation of nature

They are helpful to us in many ways

The bird I am going to talk about here is the peacock

It is the national bird of my country

It is a large bird that cannot fly very high in the sky

Peacocks live on insects, flowers and fruits

The male of the species is more colourful than the female

In rainy season, the male peacock dances the courtship dance to attract the female (pea-hen)

This is a very stunning and spectacular dance

The peacocks also have a melodious sound that they use to call the group

They make this sound usually at sunrise and sunset

My aunt lives in a farmhouse near Ludhiana

So many peacocks are found there

It is a real treat to see them
