富豪焕采(Regal Radiance)

孔雀的羽毛五颜六色，容光焕发，一眼就能认出。当一只雄性为附近的一只孔雀展示时，它们标志性的“眼点”在灯光下闪烁，这是雌性的名字。羽毛色彩鲜艳，在科学上令人着迷。孔雀的颜色不是由单个色素组成的，而是由羽毛的微观晶体状结构引起的。随着羽毛的变化，羽毛的颜色也随之变化。这场彩虹般的表演完全是为了吸引配偶。当交配季节结束时，雄性会失去羽毛，这使得我们很容易收集它们来展示、艺术，或者只是为了提醒人们大自然的美丽。

Peacock feathers, multicoloured and radiant, are instantly recognisable. Their signature ‘eyespots’ flash in the light when a male displays for a nearby peahen, which is the female species’ name. The colourful nature of the feathers is scientifically fascinating. Instead of the colours being composed of individual pigments, iridescence of the peacock's hues is caused by the microscopic crystal-like structures of the feathers. As the feathers shift, so does the colour of the feather. This iridescent show is all done to attract a mate. When mating season is over, males lose their feathers, making it easy for us to collect them for display, art, or simply a reminder of nature’s beauty.
