Description: The Nile Peafowl is a rare bird, or rather a rare coloration of the Indian Peafowl.
Birds of this color were pictured on tomb walls, thought to be stylized images of the normally blue or emerald colored bird.

Selectively bred to carry the colors of the desert, tempered gold, tan, teal, and black, these birds were no doubt found in royal gardens. The proud stature and magnificient tail would no doubt have made any grand garden livelier.

The bird itself seems resilient against the desert heat and the freezing nights. They greet the sun every morning with a lively choir, and give it farewell with quieter cooing.

Sadly, this proud bird has been pushed into obscurity by the demise of its kingdom. It was happenstance that an Egyptologist (and peafowl enthusiast) would happen upon the birds in a remote village. Bringing them back to his homeland, he has made great efforts to continue this royal line.

*NOTE: Compatible with the in-game gemsbok and camel, though these peafowl require just slightly more water and a touch of grass.

Many thanks to Jens of ZTU for allowing us to recolor Willie T's original peafowl, and to Sundance for thinking up the description.
