Animal symbolism

Peacock

What the tradition holds

Read as display, pride, and the courage of being visible. In some traditions the eyes in the tail are watchfulness.

Where that reading came from

The train is a costly signal: it is heavy, expensive to grow, and honest for that reason. The display is the information.

Peafowl live near people who keep them. The location will explain most sightings.
