Observe a dazzling male peacock in full courtship display among peahens at Macintosh Island Park on the Gold Coast. During Australia's spring breeding season in September, he fans his iridescent tail feathers, strutting and shaking them rapidly to produce a distinctive rattling sound, similar to a rattlesnake. This vibrant dance showcases the intricate eyespots and brilliant blues and greens of his train, a crucial signal to attract mates in the verdant spring setting of Queensland's Gold Coast.
