In Gir Sanctuary went for Safari in an open jeep and we could see some birds flying around. We spotted the Indian Peahen in open areas of the forest.
It has a mixture of dull grey, brown, and green in the plumage. It has brownish upperparts while underparts, lower breast and belly, are whitish.
The flight feathers are darker brown. The neck is glossy green whereas the breast is dark brown with green gloss. On the head, it has glossy green forehead and crown, with the same form of crest but greenish at tip. The bare skin of the face is white.
