I'm annoyed at them for describing the peafowl as "shallow". Sorry, no, that is a human concept. These birds aren't shallow, they're doing what nature has equipped them to do. For the males, showing their tail shows they are wily enough to survive in the wild with that crazy tail. For the female, they can judge the health of the males because only a healthy male will be able to produce that brilliant plumage. A strong and healthy male will give them strong and healthy chicks.
I'm annoyed peacocks are the poster-boy for courtship displays. There are many scientists who assert the peafowl displays to attract females, and therefore an example of sexual selection but this is unsubstantiated and based on feral peafowl populations.
Keep in mind that Peafowl are found in the same environments as snakes, eagles, and leopards. One could argue they have been in an arms race with these species. The display can be used for communication with females but it is mainly an anti-predatory display. There is NO study that has supported the hypothesis that the train of the peacock is a "handicap" and affects its ability to fly. A recent study suggests the train has very little effect on a peacock's takeoff.
That's exactly what being shallow is. You do realize it is a "human concept" because we too developed an instinct that good looks=good genes? They're shallow just like humans are.

Someone who is shallow is vain and materialistic. While it is partially about looks, that alone doesn’t make someone shallow.
+blueskyscribe
She said "Peacocks are the most shallow of all male birds"
Yet, it's the Peahens who dropped the obligation for Peacock to do so. If Peahens had chosen another method for selecting mates, like speed, strength, or ability to provide, then Peacocks would have evolved differently.
The second point is that she said "the most" as if other birds choose based on personality rather than physical traits LOL.
+Crunchy Jaws
She didn't only say shallow, she said "the most shallow" which doesn't make sense as if other birds choose based on personality charactastics rather than physical traits.
how to determine the sex of any bird, its easy, the most colorful birds are always the male, while female always have the simplest or plain color
Yobib Nartea True, this is because the female must be plain in order to blend in better and hide her offspring. In sexually dimorphic bird species where the male is more beautiful, odds are he is a useless male who does help her raise their chicks at all. In bird species where both genders look the same bald eagles crows etc. they raise their babies together.
It's interesting how this is the opposite in insects, where the female tends to be larger and sometimes more colorful and imposing. The giant weta comes to mind.
Chris Jackson this also applies to mantises and fish like bettas, black widows are much bigger than males, and most males are more colorful than dull
Then there's the eclectus parrot that flip that theory on it's head.
I learned a lot of new things in this thread haha :)
Peacock is symbol of beauty for thousands of years in India as it's originally native bird to India
It's not only native to India, It's in few other countries too
@@buzzwithdrip6347 this breed of peacock in native to India other breeds are not that beautiful which are native to southeast asia
@@Infiniteemptiness ok
If the bird has been a divine symbolism for the most intelligent monastic traditions and highest majesties respected and celebrated by all the people around the world, it cannot be a shallow animal. Well.. I think that was a shallow try to degenerate and disgrace the absolute beauty of the bird. You know, if someone tries to downgrade something, it's usually because they are very difficult to disgrace. They must have been so much jealous of its splendour.
Ew
Whenever you call anything in nature "weird"/"shallow" you are actually describing yourselves. Nature is like mirror

It's so annoying that those commentators got higher resolution than the birds' footage
He's basically going "look at me! I'm fabulous! Got a colorful bunch of feathers, looking for a lady peacock!"
Well, that's only your imagination isn't that? The real scientists would never think that way. There is no moral concept in the world of animals and natures. It is the nature that shows the nature of the natural world, and that's it.
...and honestly, what animals are different from this? The nature can only tells you the answer and it always becomes a circular logic.

Joins a peacockcel subreddit?
they go their own way
Continuity is what that means. Historians do describe by using that language. For scientist, 'impress and survive'. For art, 'love and desire', maybe? I'd prefer to use the word beauty.

"AITA for plucking another dude's tail?" 😂

"...The better the colours, the better the genes they will pass on..."
So they are basically capitalizing on beauty. And I love it.
It basically comes down to the clear fact that peahen have REALLY good taste 😂
Peacock is our national bird. 🇮🇳
That female just got that incredible show of feathers and be like "nah, not for me"
We have three peacocks and two peahens. They are curious, intelligent birds, and FAR from "shallow." We call them dinosaur puppies. I also take umbrage with the idea that their courtship rituals are even CLOSE to the complexity of bower birds'.

Girls: we are the most beautiful gender 💁♀️
Peacocks: that’s nice
Girls: we're the most beautiful gender
Male peacock: let me introduce myself
Well males are the strongest.
Yeah men should be the ones to get all prettied up and dance around.
In the entire animal kingdom, if it is beautiful, it is a male. The females of any species, except humans, do not look beautiful..at all!
@@eris.m5358 call it a peacock instead not male peacock all peacocks are males anyways
DISNEY PLEASE MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT PEACOCKS
@Meryem ÇALIŞKAN That's a great idea.🤩
watch barbie as the island princess (not disney i know)
People love the beautiful birds and it is a symbol of love to my moral concept. At least I'd prefer to think so. The beauty is always in the eye of its onlooker. Ugliness is also in their own eyes. If they want to see or tell only the ugly parts of a thing, it's because their mind is twisted and ugly by jealousy.
Can't believe God could put such beautiful creatures on this planet. They're gorgeous!
"God" also created rats and termites.
And maggots
You spelled evolution wrong....
You mean evolution and natural selection
So evolution is God. And evolution created us => God created us, thus evolution is intelligent.
So their display translates to ‘Lemme Smash’
I saw how this happened in real life! It was amazing! All the males where fighting over this one female! I was so scared because we were in the middle! The female didn’t like any of them so she left. I saw one peacock that looked sad :( I felt bad for him :( But still, being able to see this was a dream come true!
I saw this comment before. Stop copying and pasting
@@jeffbezos4746 no… this is my original comment. they must of copied mine or something
@@kxtheriiq oh. My bad

In ancient Greek mythology, peacock was the holy bird of Hera, the queen of gods.
According to the Indian Tamizh mythology, peacock is the vehicle of God murugar, who is known as God of war.... He travels on peacock..
@Vaibhav Gupta what do you expect me to say.. I think I have explained clearly
@Vaibhav Gupta well I am a Tamizhan and for the deity for Tamizh people all over the world is God Murugar. He is the God of war or defence.. His mount is peacock.... What is wrong in this???
@Vaibhav Gupta have you ever been to Tamizh Nadu. Here they roam all around the forests..
@Vaibhav Gupta dude the god he's referring to Murugar is known as Kartikay in North India, he's lord Ganesha's brother, lord shiva's son. And he's God of war in north Indian culture as well. It's just we north Indians worship Ganesh more than Kartikay.
”Peacock males are shallow” If anything, it is the females who are shallow for selecting these traits in males
The ones who are truly shallow are the people projecting human culture onto birds.
I didn't know the species was called Peafowl, I thought they were just all peacocks, but I guess that's actually only the males. Neat.
All male peacocks are dapper.
I bet the tail can also be used defensively because if a predator saw it at night, he might think the circular colorful portions are the eyes of multiple animals.
Of course the most unattractive person in the video is going to call these beautiful birds shallow.

"The male carries all the weight in these encounters. It is he who has to impress."
So, just like humans huh
It's a different grammar in different subjects. The science uses this language for example, 'impress', to describe the animal behaviours and I think the word is to denote a very empirical observation. The art history probably describes it with 'love', 'majestic', and 'glorious', to indicate its self-containing figure of speech and metaphors.
"Dirty tricks department"?????? Rolls eyes.
Did you know that in South Korean language 'peacock' is the same spelling with the word 'Duke'? I thought the English word of duke was much more similar to 'duck' in the language of Egyptian hieroglyphs which does mean duke, prince or the son of the king (it describes a duck with the sun), probably because of its association with the first civilisation where celebrated and worshipped the monarchs. Pyramid and eye symbol is often depicted with the radiant triangular halo which I thought is like the peacock feathers, and also reminds me of the triangular back of the throne of present English monarchs, really. So when the monarchs were seated in the throne a triangular halo is placed behind their face. In an annexed church to Paris Pantheon there is a depiction of Moses with its triangular halo. Interesting, isn't it? I'm quite sure that such figures of language first originate from the Egyptian culture to describe the aristocracy and divinity with the metaphors to various animals, especially, in case of Egypt, birds. If the civilisation contacted India and brought peacocks when the hieroglyphics were created and used, I'm sure they'd worship this bird and used peacock to describe divinity.
YYYYAAAAAAAY!!!! natgeo is still putting out real life videos! PS PLEASE dont sell out to bigfeet or sackwash or illegal aliens or little mermaid. KEEP IT REAL
YES.
"Wow, I never knew peacocks could be so unique! The World's Weirdest Peacock video really opened my eyes to the incredible diversity within this species. From unusual colors to quirky behaviors, each peacock featured had its own fascinating story to tell. Nature never ceases to amaze!"
I would hate to be a male peacock in the wild. Good luck hiding from predators with those beautiful bright colors

Um the male peacocks are shallow? Not the female peahens who only pick the ones with the most dazzling feathers?
Peafowl aren't "shallow," humans are shallow for projecting human culture onto birds.

Peacock is the national bird in India.
Didn’t know that fact thanks for sharing..✌🏼
I saw a peacock once,And it was beautiful im glad i saw a peacock once.
Crazy how in this species the males have the looks...and yet it is STILL the females who get to decide if they get laid or not! We guys just can’t win!
Shallow?
The approach to the female for mating, the mating itself is a beautifully sensitive and respectful one by the male.
He literally bows to her gracefully before and afterwards also as he backs elegantly away walking backwards and facing her.
Gracious and gentle and magnificent.
The peacock:
LOOK AT ME LAURA! AIN’T I DAZZLING?
And that is how Drag queen has been created
Ugh.
Imagine being a peacock without feathers 🪶💔
It's called peafowl.
Quarantine brought me here 🤦🏻♂️
AND DAZZLE HERRR -gay peacock
As the female peacock likes this, so does the human female. The female chooses based on the same concepts. Yes females are shallow.
Actually, for humans
It would be reverse.
It's both looks and money in the case of human males.
And?
this was such a short video. Was it part of a documentary or something?
Watching a strutting peacock russtling its brilliant plumage drives away the bitter memories that haunts me last October mid- 2017
They are very jealous of love and happiness life and its life behind the closed door. What a peacock fight! They are exactly what they imagined.
This was so entertaining. 😹😹😹 couldn’t stop laughing 😂
The ancient king " the great Asoka" chose peacock as national bird to india and started " mauryan dynasty "

Beautiful birds...Thanks for the great video:)

It's from Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Nope

@@bird_poop That's impossible. Those countries didn't even exist until 1947 and 1971 respectively.
So what are the peacock's dirty tricks? lmao You guys cut it off on the best part and I cannot find this episode anywhere.
Any peafowl shook their tail full of colorfull feathers like pattern,each feather has a blue”eye spot” and that why they look very colorfull to mate.😮
Every time one of our peacocks is displaying, *I* am impressed, and I'm not even a peahen! 😁❤

Why am I thinking of Kim Seokjin while watching this Peacock..omaghadstap i hate me
The dirty tricks department. Is that peacock roofies?
Why isn't there a longer documentary on peacocks Nat Geo?
She really said shallow 😂
I always thought they attracted all the girls…I was wrong

birds are the descendant of dinosaurs. I wonder if dinosaurs were beautiful like this bird. bones don't tell their color.
Peacocks are my worst fears ever
considering the way they move im assuming there just decorated turkeys
I'm quite attracted to the first one it felt he was communicating with me.
were you high?
oh yes daddy
This is indian peacock. So beautiful.
PEACOK IS MY FAVORITE ANIMAL
Not even remotely the only male in nature that does this. It says, " I'm the most suitable mate.". It commonly leads to contests. Enjoy.
I mean why I like men? Just look at the peacock! Enough said!
Peacocks are beautiful

I show the dirty tricks in my latest vid haha
So much for the dirty tricks department?
beautiful
Peacocks are not "shallow".
I minus markings almost thousands are there@mt
That's a weird turkey
If you see the animal kingdom, the males are more beautiful. But in humans its different. But I guess even in humans its the males who are attractive considering the lengths many females go to achieve a certain look.
