Who says it isn't. Read on:-
The Peacock, Pavo cristatus (Linnaeus), the national bird of India. It is symbolic of qualities like beauty, grace, pride and mysticism. Peacocok is a colourful, swan-sized bird, with a fan-shaped crest of feathers, a white patch under the eye and a long, slender neck. The male of the species is more colourful than the female, with a glistening blue breast and neck and a spectacular bronze-green train of around 200 elongated feathers it is able to expand its tail erect like fan as ostentatious display. The female is brownish, slightly smaller than the male, and lacks the train. These birds do not sound as beautiful as they look they have a harsh call. The elaborate courtship dance of the male, fanning out the tail and preening its feathers is a beautiful sight.
The peacock is widely found in the Indian sub-continent from the south and east of the Indus river, Jammu and Kashmir, east Assam, south Mizoram and the whole of the Indian peninsula. Found wild in India (and also domesticated in villages) they live in jungle lands near water. They were once bred for food but now hunting of peacocks is banned in India.

Why brood over the fact - Who said that the national bird - is Peacock! As it is there is so much of chaos and confusion over changing of names of the V.T station in Mumbai and International Airport in Mumbai!! For all we know we might spark of a new issue about the national bird - should it be the peacock or the crow? Forget it!!! Anyways I feel whoever said it - was quite apt in being symbolic because the PEACOCKS tail with the various hues and colors is very SYNONYMOUS with the colorful diverse cultures, languages, etc of our nation. Also remember the Shakesparean saying..."Whats in a NAME?"
