- I know :(
- Haha, my feathers are brighter than yours!
- He might not even find a mate...
- He will definitely get a female to mate with!
- Yes! My bright feathers passed down to our son; he is just as beautiful as me!
- I'm sorry your feathers can't be as bright as the others' :(
- ??? :(
- Ew, no! Your dull feathers are not attractive at all...
- Hey, can we mate?
- Oh.. :(
- Male peacocks have variation. Some male peacocks' feathers are more vibrant than others'.
- Oh, wow, your feathers are so nice and bright! Can we mate please?
- 😍
- Sure...
- This is because their fathers had bright colors instead of dull colors. The pigments are an inherited gene.
- No, none of the females want to mate with us because we're dull-feathered...
- Have you found anyone yet?
- This leaves dull peacocks at a disadvantage because no females want to mate with them.
- Haha, there are more of us than you! I bet you guys will run out soon :)
- Leave us alone :(
- This leaves females and bright-feathered males to mate and later have bright-feathered peacock offspring.
- However, since dull peacocks aren't able to mate with other females, they can't make dull-feathered babies.
- We can't have offspring :(
- I know, it really sucks :(
- Because of this, there are more bright-feathered baby peacocks in the population than dull-feathered babies.
