The Congo Peafowl, also known as the African Peafowl or Congo Peacock, is a beautiful bird primarily found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's dense forests. Synonyms for the Congo Peafowl include the Abyssinian Peacock (although this name is more commonly used for the Arabian Peafowl), the Guinea Peafowl, and the Congo Pheasant. "Pheasant" is actually a misnomer, as the Congo Peafowl is not closely related to pheasants at all. Another synonym for the Congo Peafowl is the Crested Guinea Fowl, as the birds share similar physical characteristics, including a distinctive crested head. While the name may vary depending on the region, one thing is certain: the Congo Peafowl is a stunning and fascinating bird.
