Male Peacocks Mating Call

             


                Researchers wanted to get the reveal the total process of the male Peacocks mating call. They included a biologist Roslyn Dakin on this project and they studied a move that peacocks  do before the females arrive called "shivering". In other words they're just reshuffling their feathers. The researchers continued to studied feathers in a lab. They found out that Rattling birds shake their shorter stiff tail feathers which makes a chain reaction to the fan feathers making them vibrate at the same frequency. Studies show that male peacocks with a lot of eyespots on their wings have more luck with the females.
