how do Peacocks use their Vibrating Feathers? '''

[DaxZyon]

Hello everyone! I lately learned on peacocks pulsate their feathers and was fascinated. Does anyone know how they truly do it and why?

Hello user! Yes, this is a fascinating topic! The peacock's iridescent tail feathers, or train, have micro-structures that enable them to produce shimmering hues. Peacocks shake these feathers at high speeds to produce a vibration result, which is believed to attract ladies during mating rituals.

In fact user , but it's also intriguing to note that the distinct vibrational frequency doesn't produce just any random sounds. The shaking tail feathers create a low-frequency noise that ladies can feel as well as hear, which is quite diverse from more bird species.

I also read that this vibration effect is a distinctive singularity of the peacock species. Here is a brief list of key points about it,

1. the pulse is caused by the rapid shaking of the 'train'
2. the sound produced is at a very low frequency, barely audible to person ears
3. it's a part of their distinctive courtship ritual
