Who can tell me what a black peacock is?

The black peacock (Pavo cristatus) belongs to the genus Pheretima, which is mainly produced in Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka. It lives in an open and sparse grassland below 2000 meters or an open area with bushes and bamboo bushes. It is a resident bird with a life span of about 25 years. Black peacock is a variety of wild blue peacock, which is extremely rare in number and is an extremely precious ornamental bird. At present, the Indian Zoo has bred a black peacock with reproductive ability. In 2000, a blue peacock farm in Yunnan, China hatched a black peacock. Unfortunately, this black peacock didn't live to be an adult.

Wild black peacocks are mainly produced in Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka.

Almost the same as the blue peacock. Male black peacocks can reach about two meters in length and weigh four to six kilograms. Females are smaller than males, only about one meter long and weighing 2.7 to 4 kilograms. There are obvious crown feathers on the top of the head, most of which are black and the face is white, similar to the blue peacock. Black peacocks inhabit open and sparse grasslands below 2000 meters or open areas with bushes and bamboo forests. They can grow normally under the relative humidity of-30 с to-45 с of 60-70%. They like to eat pears, rice, sprouts, grass seeds and other fruits, and also eat some insects, such as crickets, locusts and some small reptiles. Termites are the main animal food. Especially because they eat young cobras, they are loved by people. Peacock is a polygamous bird, so it will naturally choose a mate. Each male bird lives with three to five females. Family-style activities, in a certain range of activities, collective foraging and perching, few individual activities. The breeding season of black peacocks is from April to August. During the breeding period, males are very fierce, and even in fighting, they often hurt females. During the breeding period, male peacocks have courtship behavior-"opening the screen". 4-8 eggs are laid each time, the protein color is milky yellow, and the incubation period is 28 days.

Black peacocks are extremely precious peacocks. The change rate is lower than11000. There are three main reasons for the scarcity of black peacocks: First, the frequency of gene mutation itself is low. Secondly, according to scientific research, black peacocks may be the product of inbreeding of male and female peacocks who grew up together. They have lethal genes, so their ability to resist external unfavorable factors such as diseases is very weak, especially in the young bird period, and the mortality rate is extremely high. Third, the black peacock's feathers are mainly black, and the color is monotonous, which is not attractive to females, and it is difficult to attract heterosexual mating, resulting in fewer opportunities for its offspring. At present, some Indian zoos have bred black peacocks, but China has not successfully bred adult black peacocks. However, the white peacock, which is also a mutation, why doesn't it have the same lethal gene as the black peacock? Because the white peacock has been domesticated artificially, it has reached the state of population self-maintenance. I hope that in the near future, we can see as many black peacocks as white peacocks appearing around us. Ask for recommendation! ! ! ~~~~~~~~\(≧▽≦)/~~~~~~~~! ! !
