Tour Scotland Travel Video Peacocks Preening And Displaying Plumage Scone Palace Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel video of Indian Blue Peacocks preening and displaying their plumage on visit to the grounds of Scone Palace by Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The Indian peacock has iridescent blue and green plumage, mostly metallic blue and green. Peacocks are male peafowl, a type of pheasant that also includes the female peahen. No matter the species of peacock, these colorful creatures boast impressively sized and patterned plumage that they fan out for display purposes. It isn't an act of vanity, though, peacocks fan out their feathers as part of a courtship ritual to attact a mate.
