I Searched Internet To Find The Number Of This Bird In Our Country. For My Surprise I Learnt That There Is No Current Census Conducted For Peacock.
I Did Not Go In Depth To Know The Causes of The Extinction As I Personally Encountered One Of The Worst Causes. Feathers!!!!!!!
Yes, It’s For Their Long Sexy Beautiful Attractive Feathers These Birds Are Killed.
Recently I Captured These Pictures While Traveling In Public Transport In The City.

Why Do They Sell? Is That Because People Buy It?

ReplyDeleteFarmlands are always encroaching upon the forests, raising the risk of frequent contact between the wild and us. Consumption of pesticide laced crops have been one of the major killers of these majestic birds. There have been many cases where the farmers have laid poison traps for these birds because they view them as pests that destroy the crops.
ReplyDeleteSince these birds [males..unfortunate ones]weigh quite a lot, they move slowly and are susceptible to being killed by dogs. Again we are to be blamed as we are ever expanding our villages, towns, cities and what not; both vertically and horizontally.
They are also killed as they are regarded as a rare delicacy.
And yes. The major culprits are the poachers who kill them primarily for their plumage.
These birds are not extinct yet. They are on the threatened list.
Interestingly, our Indian laws permit the collection and sale of their feathers as long as the bird has shed them naturally.
