I Found This Interesting About Peacocks

A female peacock has special sensors in her ctest that allow her to feel the vibrations of her mate though he may be located far away from her. The feathers are tuned to vibrate at the exact same frequency at which a displaying peacock rattles his tail. Whenever a male peacock fans his tail, he shakes it at a rate of 26 times a second, creating a pressure-wave that literally rattles the female's head for attention. The image is one I took if this last year's Thanksgiving Day parade.
