Abstract

The Indian peafowl ( Pavo cristatus ), a species of national importance, remains unstudied in major habitats of Kerala as well as the country as a whole. In Kerala, peafowl population is on the increase; they are now becoming an unconventional pest among the farmer community and an indicator species of change in climatic conditions. It has been estimated that peafowl show preference towards some habitats. Identification of their habitat preference by vegetation analysis will be effective in reducing the conflicts between man and bird with proper intervention.
