Study reveals exponential rise in peafowl population in Tamil Nadu
A total of 1,025 peafowl were sighted in 32 of the 38 districts in the State. However, data from internet-based bird monitoring platform eBird and detections made in the survey revealed that the bird was present in all the 38 districts
A year-long study carried out by scientists from the Salim Ali Centre for Ornithology and Natural History (SACON), Coimbatore, has indicated an exponential rise in the population of peafowl in Tamil Nadu.
The first-of-its-kind study, carried out last year, estimated a mean population size of peafowl of about 61 lakh, and a minimum population size of about 38 lakh.
