A showy color and the development of the decoration feather are seen in the male of the friend of Pheasant well. In Indian Peafowl, the decoration feather has length of 1.6m, and it is in a wonderful figure when it opens in the shape of a fan. It opens the wing in front of a female and it beat and shake. It shows how oneself is excellent beautifully. It calls such an action a display action. In contrast with it, the female is a quiet color. It is thought that it is hard to be found by a foreign enemy, and oneself during a nest and a sitting does this.
