Can peacocks give birth

Birds mate sexually just like mammals.

And peacocks mate noisily -- there's a lot of flapping and screeching involved.

When a peacock wants a mate, he will display his train and strut by the nearest female, puffing out his chest and shaking his tail feathers as he goes. During mating season, the peafowl are also very vocal, making mewing cries that can sound like a kitten or small child.

If the peahen takes interest, she will allow the peacock to mate with her. The peacock mounts on top of the peahen's back and deposits his sperm into her sexual organ located on her back.

A peahen usually does not mate until she reaches her third year. She will lay an average of 2-6 eggs at a time, hiding them in the forest while laying decoy eggs out in the open. The eggs hatch after 28 days.
