The Common Peafowl (Pavo cristatus), also known as the Indian Peafowl, is a medium-sized bird from India. It is adoptable in Zoo Tycoon 2 and Zoo Tycoon (Xbox).
Description[]
The Common or Indian Peafowl, also known as the Blue Peafowl, is one of three species of peafowl and is one of the largest species of gamebirds. The brightly-coloured males, or peacocks, are best known for their long train of feathers which are covered in eye-spots and are used in display. The females, or peahens, are more drab in colouration and lack the train.
Common peafowl are native to India, but have been introduced across many other countries. Although they are able to fly, they are primarily ground-dwelling birds. They have a varied diet, including fruits, seeds, insects and small animals.
Zoo Tycoon 2[]
The Common Peafowl is an adoptable animal in Zoo Tycoon 2 and is available in the base game. It has a rating of 1/2 star in Challenge and Campaign mode and is subsequently one of the first available animals to adopt.
The common peafowl is a temperate forest animal, although it also tolerates boreal forest (as well as grassland, alpine, and tropical rainforest to a lesser extent). It has a herbivorous diet in-game and can use the Lookout Tower. They will occasionally fly around their exhibit.

| Although the peafowl is commonly called a peacock, that name properly applies only to males; females are called peahens. Peafowl originated in Asia but have been domesticated in many parts of the world. Their resplendent tail feathers are iridescent green and gold and are ornamented with eyelike markings of a rich color, known as peacock blue. |
Zoo Tycoon (Xbox)[]
The Common Peafowl is an adoptable animal in Zoo Tycoon (Xbox), now called the Indian Peafowl. It is a mini-exhibit animal and can be housed in the Tropical Lawn mini-exhibit. It is available once the player reaches a Zoo Fame of eight stars.

Trivia[]
- In the base game of Zoo Tycoon 2, the common peafowl uses the tropical rainforest Southeast Asia location in its General Information tab and adoption panel. This was corrected in the Endangered Species expansion pack.
