How do peacocks learn how to fly and when?

Peacocks learn to fly instinctively, typically starting to flap their wings and take short flights around the age of 10 to 12 weeks. Their ability to fly is influenced by their physical development, including muscle strength and wing size. While they are not strong fliers, adult peacocks can fly short distances to escape predators or reach roosting spots in trees. Flight skills are honed through practice and exploration in their environment.
