Pavo (genus) (Phasianidae (family), Galliformes (order), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Members of a genus containing two species of blue or green birds having a train of tail feathers that are colored a brilliant metallic green, each tipped with an eyespot that is ringed with blue and bronze. Peacocks have been kept as ornamental birds for centuries. The bird was a symbol of eternal life in the antiquity, due to the belief that its flesh did not rot. It has also been a symbol of pride. Traditionally classified as members of the Phasianidae family, but scientists now believe that the peafowl and Phasianidae do not share the same ancestry. Peafowl and their allies are a very ancient isolated group with no near allies; their family is classified separately as Pavoninidae in some systems.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 屬名，包含兩種藍或綠色的鳥類，具有拖曳的尾羽，顏色為鮮豔的金屬綠，每根羽毛尖端具有眼狀斑點，周圍被藍色與青銅色所環繞。孔雀在幾個世紀以來作為觀賞之用。因為古人相信孔雀的肉體不會腐敗，所以此鳥在古代被當作永生的象徵。孔雀也被視為驕傲的象徵。孔雀在傳統上被分類為雉科，但科學家現在認為，孔雀與雉科的祖先不同，孔雀及其近親是非常古老的孤立族群，沒有其他血緣接近的近親動物，牠們的科在某些系統中被獨立分類為孔雀科（Pavoninidae）。
