Yeah, they looks a lot like peacocks to me. What's the difference??

hmm, peacocks are male, whereas peafowl are both?

Phew! Now, I can die happy knowing that in the English language, "peacock" can refer to either gender of the peafowl, rather than just male or just female. SqueeG, you made my day

[SqueeG-1]

Happy to oblige.

Peacock - logically, should only be applied to the male. When it comes to chickens, a 'cock' is a rooster, never a hen.
Peahen - a she-peafowl.
Peafowl - a gender-neutral term for the bird.

Ha.. I've only heard the word peacock before... had no idea it could be called a peafowl too? You learn something new every day
