Funny picture and great suggestion. I suspect these are young males, maybe growing their first set of immature train feathers. As I think, if they were adults,
the eye spots would be present (I think I only see one). Anyway, it highlights that the so called tail of peacocks is not the tail. This picture features the tail (usually hidden except in this posture), which supports the showy feathers of the rump and lower
back.
