Indian Peafowl
is a common breeding resident of dry lowlands and some areas in the intermediate
zone. It inhabits mainly open country, chena lands and scrub lands avoiding
dense forests. Its food consists of
grains, leaves, grasshoppers, termites, and also small reptiles. Its usual
feeding times are in the early morning and hour or so before sunset. It roosts on trees during the night. Indian peafowl usually lives as small groups and spends their time mostly on ground
walking great distances in search of food. It flies mostly to cross an obstacle like
rivers or to escape from sudden danger.
The breeding season is from December to May and male attains its long
train during the mating season. The
peahen lays 3 to 5 eggs in a slight hollow on ground well hidden in dense
shrubbery.සිංහලෙන් කියවන්න >>
