Characteristics of peacocks opening their tails:

1. Only male peacocks can open their tails naturally. In line with the laws of nature, among peacocks, males are more beautiful, while females are less attractive.

2. The peacock spreading its tail is not only a reproductive behavior, but also a defensive behavior.

3. The most prosperous time for peacocks to bloom is from March to April, which is their breeding season.

The reasons why peacocks open their tails:

1. Courtship. Spring is the season when peacocks lay eggs and reproduce. So, the male peacock unfolded its colorful and bright tail screen, and kept making various graceful dance movements to show off its beauty to the female peacock, thereby attracting the female peacock.

2. Protect yourself. On the peacock's large tail screen, there are many approximately circular "eye spots" scattered among them. Once it encounters an enemy and has no time to escape, the peacock will shake it and make a "rustling" sound, and many eye spots will appear in disorder. If you move, the enemy will be afraid of this "multi-eyed monster" and will not advance rashly.

3. Frightened. In zoos, we often see peacocks spreading their tails. Zoological workers believe that the bright red and green colors and the loud chatter and laughter of tourists can stimulate peacocks and arouse their vigilance.
