Hey kids, have you ever seen a peacock? They are big, beautiful birds with the most amazing feathers you can imagine! Peacocks are known for their bright colors and big, fancy tails. They are like the kings of the bird world.

Peacocks are not just pretty; they're also very smart. The male peacocks, which are the ones with the big, colorful tails, use their feathers to impress the female peacocks, called peahens.

When a male peacock wants to show off, he fans out his tail feathers into a big, round shape called a "fan." This fan has lots of pretty, eye-like patterns on it, and it's called an "eye-spot" pattern.

The peacock will shake his tail and make it shimmer, almost like it's dancing. This is called "courtship display," and it's how the peacock tries to get the peahen to like him. It's like a special dance just for birds!

Peacocks are also known for their loud calls. They make a sound that can be really loud, kind of like "pea-awk," which is where they get their name from.

They live in warm places, like forests in Asia, and they love to eat insects, seeds, and sometimes small snakes. In this drawing tutorial today, let's try to learn how to draw a realistic peacock. It's not that hard, don't worry too much!
