The National Bird Peacock

Peacock is our National Bird. It is found all over India. You can see peacocks in gardens and parks in the cities. Peacock is a beautiful bird. Its plumes are shiny blue-green. On its head it has a crest.
Unique feature of the peacock is its long feather tail. When in joyous mood it lifts up its tail and spreads it out to create a magnificent umbrella. Each tail feather has one such design that looks like a big eye.
When it drizzles and rain drops fall the peacock feels like dancing. It fans out its tail and dances to express its joy.
In 1963 the peacock was declared as the National Bird.
