My most memorable and beautiful image of peacocks fight was on 22nd April 2014 , celebrated as the Earth Day through out the world. This day opened the floodgates of the fighting world for me as fight is a must irrespective of the specie for the survival of itself in the long run as propounded by Charles Darwin in its Theory of Evolution.

Generally people have witnessed fight between two peacocks for the territory or mating rights. But over a period of time I have not only seen fight between peacocks but also between two peahens as well as between a peacock and a peahen and peacock witnessing it. This is similar to fight in the villages where a strong woman fights with a man to save his husband being weak .I observed similar thing in the avian world in February of last year.

Just as two peacocks fight ,I witnessed a fight between two peahens one fine morning. Again this may be for the nesting place or for the selected male for mating.
