The peafowl commonly seen in GB is the Indian peafowl, named after its original habitat. There is also a green peacock (instead of the blue chest) that comes from the Indonesian islands.

There are a few feral peafowls in Britain but they are escapees and their progeny from aviaries and bird parks.
