35 PEACOCK IN FLIGHT

36 Words and music by John Denver FLY AWAY

37 PEAFOWL

38 Peafowl are three Asiatic species of flying bird in the genus Pavo of the pheasant family, Phasianidae, best known for the male's extravagant eye-spotted tail, which it displays as part of courtship. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peafowl

39 PEAFOWL The male is called a peacock, the female a peahen, and the offspring peachicks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peafowl

40 PEAFOWL Peafowl are omnivorous and eat most plant parts, flower petals, seed heads, insects and other arthropods, reptiles, and amphibians. In common with other members of the Galliformes, males possess metatarsal spurs or "thorns" used primarily during intraspecific fights. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peafowl

41 PEAFOWL Charles Darwin first theorized in On the Origin of Species that the peacock's plumage had evolved through sexual selection. This idea was expanded upon in his second book, The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peafowl
