MAYURAM- THE SACRED BIRD FOR HINDUS

Peacock is our national bird. The real story behind peacock's fertilisation is -Cloacal kiss.yes it is!!!!it doesn't contain any reproductive systems. The cloaca is the single opening birds use to excrete, mate and lay eggs).
The legend states that the Mayura was created from the feathers of Garuda, In images of the mayura as a mythical bird, it is depicted as killing a snake, which according to a number of Hindu scriptures, is a symbol of cycle of time.
For all these reasons peacock is treated as sacred bird and even lord krishna used to wear it daily.
