The Peafowl, locally known as Mor, is one of the most recognizable birds in the world, celebrated for the vibrant plumage of its males. This large bird, native to the subcontinent, holds cultural and religious significance in South Asia, including Pakistan, where it is admired for its majestic appearance and courtship displays.

Habitat & Lifestyle
Peafowl in Pakistan are typically found in semi-arid regions, scrub forests, and agricultural areas, often near water sources. They are omnivorous, feeding on seeds, fruits, insects, small reptiles, and even snakes. These birds are diurnal, roosting in trees at night for safety. Males are famous for their elaborate courtship displays, fanning their iridescent tail feathers to attract females during the breeding season.

Area Found
In Pakistan, Peafowl populations are primarily concentrated in Sindh, particularly in the Thar Desert and its surroundings, as well as parts of Punjab. They are often seen near villages and farmlands, coexisting with humans.
