In certain areas of South Florida, peacocks roam freely in groups of ten or more, showcasing their vibrant plumage. The males fan out their wings to attract females during courtship displays, using their striking colors and intricate patterns to impress potential mates. This behavior not only highlights their beauty but also plays a crucial role in their mating rituals.
