PSA!!!

THIS IS A PEACOCK. A MALE PEAFOWL.

THIS IS A PEAHEN. A FEMALE PEAFOWL.

THE DEFAULT NAME OF THIS SPECIES OF BIRD IS NOT PEACOCK. IT IS PEAFOWL. THIS BIRD IS CALLED A PEAFOWL. IF YOU CALL A FEMALE PEAFOWL A PEACOCK, THAT IS INCORRECT. IT IS A PEAHEN. A FEMALE PEAFOWL.

THIS IS CALLED AN INDIAN PEAFOWL

and NO. The white peafowls AREN'T the females, that's an Indian peafowl with Leucism. This PEAFOWL can be either a PEACOCK or PEAHEN.

YES??? OKAY???

PEACOCK IS A SEX SPECIFIC TERM. PEAFOWL IS THE NAME OF THE BIRD.

I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL IT A FUCKING PEAFOWL.
