The Black-Shouldered Peafowl is a color variation of the Indian Blue Peafowl, not a separate species. Adult males weigh around 8 to 13 pounds, and females about 6 to 9 pounds, with males having long, striking trains up to 72 inches. They lay light brown eggs, with clutches of about 3 to 8 eggs, and they typically breed starting at 2 to 3 years old. These birds are hardy and active, needing plenty of space, and males can be very vocal, especially during breeding season.
