An image of a naturally beautiful girl of Hispanic descent with long, flowing black hair. She's in her late teens, wearing a simple, white summer dress. She stands in a blooming meadow, light streaming through the trees, with a soft smile on her face. Her eyes sparkle with mirth and she's lovingly cradling a small bird in her hands, showing a deep bond with nature. Inspire the image with the colors of spring - fresh greens, pastels, and the brilliant white of her dress contrasting the dark richness of her hair.

The two Asiatic species are the blue or Indian peafowl originally from the Indian subcontinent, and the green peafowl from Southeast Asia. The Congo peafowl, native only to the Congo Basin, is not a true peafowl. Male peafowl are known for their piercing calls and their extravagant plumage. The latter is especially prominent in the Asiatic species, which have an eye-spotted "tail" or "train" of covert feathers, which they display as part of a courtship ritual.
The functions of the elaborate iridescent coloration and large "train" of peacocks have been the subject of extensive scientific debate. Charles Darwin suggested that they served to attract females, and the showy features of the males had evolved by sexual selection. More recently, Amotz Zahavi proposed in his handicap principle that these features acted as honest signals of the males' fitness, since less-fit males would be disadvantaged by the difficulty of surviving with such large and conspicuous structures.
