Peacocks are the male of the peafowl species, and their spectacular tail feathers — called a train — can be up to 1.8 metres long, more than twice the body length. The eye-like patterns on the feathers are called ocelli. Peafowl are native to South Asia and Southeast Asia, where they live in forests. Despite their large tails, peacocks can fly short distances to roost in trees at night.
Coloring ideas: the peacock's body and neck are typically an iridescent blue-green — try layering teal, cobalt blue, and emerald green. Each tail feather eye has a specific pattern: a gold oval surrounded by a green ring, then a blue ring, then a dark outline. For a simpler look, make all the eye patterns the same; for a detailed challenge, try to vary the shading.
This image is rich with detail and excellent for older kids and adults who enjoy intricate coloring. Use fine-tipped colored pencils or markers to fill in each feather's eye pattern individually for a stunning finished piece.
