Answer Details
When a peacock displays its colourful feathers, it is courting a female. The elaborate display of feathers is a mating ritual that serves to attract the attention of female peahens. The peacock will fan out his feathers and perform a dance while making a loud calling sound. The brighter and more vibrant the feathers, the more attractive the peacock is to the female. The display of feathers is a way for the peacock to demonstrate his fitness as a mate and to compete with other males for the attention of the females.
