The male grows up to 3 meters (10 ft) long, including the “train” (which we consider the tail) and weighs up to 5 kg (11 lbs). The female is 1.1 meter (3.5 ft) long and weighs about 5.1 kg (2.4 lbs). It has large wingspan of approximately 1.2 m (4 ft). The Green Peafowl is capable of sustained flight and is often observed on wing.
