How Do Peafowl Breed?

During sex, the male peacock mounts the peahen and aligns his tail with hers, which in turn, aligns the sexual organs, known cloacas. Both peacocks and peahens have cloacas. The peacock's sperm is then transferred to the peahen where it makes its way up to the uterus to fertilize the egg via muscular spasms.

How does a female peacock get pregnant?

“The peacock is a lifelong brahmachari” or celibate, said the judge. “It never has sex with the peahen. The peahen gets pregnant after swallowing the tears of the peacock.”

Do peacocks mate through eyes?

However this is just a myth. Peacocks do mate like any other bird and peahens do not impregnate by swallowing tears.
