The Indian peafowl or peacock (Pavo cristatus) is also known as the common peafowl, and blue peafowl, and is a peafowl species native to the Indian subcontinent. 

It has been introduced to many other countries. Male peafowl are referred to as peacocks, and female peafowl are referred to as peahens, although both sexes are often referred to colloquially as a "peacock". A Peacocks length from bill to tail can measure100 to 115 cm (39 to 45 in) and to the end of a fully grown train as much as 195 to 225 cm (77 to 89 in) and weigh 4–6 kg (8.8–13.2 lb). The females, or peahens, are smaller at around 95 cm (37 in) in length and weigh 2.75–4 kg (6.1–8.8 lb).
