Day long Activities of Indian Blue Peafowl in Bangladesh National Zoo
View through CrossRef
The research work was carried out from July 2016 to June 2017 to explore the day long activities of Indian Blue Peafowl habitat at Bangladesh National Zoo. The objectives of the study were to understand the biological activities that happen in a day of this nice creature across different season. For this purpose we gave selected equal number of (n= 10) adult peacocks and peahens. . Total day time used by several activities in winter was found 10.51 hour. Peacock spent most of their diurnal time budget (28.10%) in resting state in winter .Feeding and displaying time was 1.74 hour and 1.25 hour respectively of the total day time .Without this percentage of preening time and walking time spent by the Peacock was 11.99 hour and 17.32 hour in winter. Resting, feeding and walking time spent by the Peahen are 3.02 hour, 2.25 hour and 2.03 hour respectively in winter. Roaming time Peahen is lower 0.88 hour than displaying time of Peacock. In the spring, the total time of several biological activities of Peafowl was found 11.54 hour. Resting time, walking time, displaying time and feeding time were 3.10 hour, 1.98 hour, 1.94 hour and 1.85 hour respectively in spring for Peacock. The percentage of resting and feeding time was higher compare to other two seasons and it was 28.34 and 21.66 hour of diurnal time budget for Peahen in spring. Roaming time was found 9.36% of the total day time and time of walking in the day was 2.08 hour for Peahen in spring. Total day time was found 13.15 hour in summer spent by the Indian blue peafowl in several activities. In the summer day time is long so all activities take more time compared to others seasons. Time spent on various behaviours by peacocks during day time in summer resting time, displaying time, feeding time and walking time were 26.92%, 16.65%, 16.05% and 16.20%, respectively. In summer the Peahen spends more time (3.55 hour) in resting and less time (0.83 hour) in calling and a big percentage of time 18.40, 17.64 and 13.92 were spent by the Peahen in summer for walking, feeding and roaming respectively. Resting, walking and feeding time was found higher in summer season because day length is more comparing to winter and spring season. Roosting and preening time are same 1.10 hour for Peahen in summer. Resting time is the highest and calling time is the lowest for Peacock and Peahen in all seasons. In conclusion we can say that day long activities vary based on season and sex

Title: Day long Activities of Indian Blue Peafowl in Bangladesh National Zoo
Description:
The research work was carried out from July 2016 to June 2017 to explore the day long activities of Indian Blue Peafowl habitat at Bangladesh National Zoo.
The objectives of the study were to understand the biological activities that happen in a day of this nice creature across different season.
For this purpose we gave selected equal number of (n= 10) adult peacocks and peahens.
.
Total day time used by several activities in winter was found 10.
51 hour.
Peacock spent most of their diurnal time budget (28.
10%) in resting state in winter .
Feeding and displaying time was 1.
74 hour and 1.
25 hour respectively of the total day time .
Without this percentage of preening time and walking time spent by the Peacock was 11.
99 hour and 17.
32 hour in winter.
Resting, feeding and walking time spent by the Peahen are 3.
02 hour, 2.
25 hour and 2.
03 hour respectively in winter.
Roaming time Peahen is lower 0.
88 hour than displaying time of Peacock.
In the spring, the total time of several biological activities of Peafowl was found 11.
54 hour.
Resting time, walking time, displaying time and feeding time were 3.
10 hour, 1.
98 hour, 1.
94 hour and 1.
85 hour respectively in spring for Peacock.
The percentage of resting and feeding time was higher compare to other two seasons and it was 28.
34 and 21.
66 hour of diurnal time budget for Peahen in spring.
Roaming time was found 9.
36% of the total day time and time of walking in the day was 2.
08 hour for Peahen in spring.
Total day time was found 13.
15 hour in summer spent by the Indian blue peafowl in several activities.
In the summer day time is long so all activities take more time compared to others seasons.
Time spent on various behaviours by peacocks during day time in summer resting time, displaying time, feeding time and walking time were 26.
92%, 16.
65%, 16.
05% and 16.
20%, respectively.
In summer the Peahen spends more time (3.
55 hour) in resting and less time (0.
83 hour) in calling and a big percentage of time 18.
40, 17.
64 and 13.
92 were spent by the Peahen in summer for walking, feeding and roaming respectively.
Resting, walking and feeding time was found higher in summer season because day length is more comparing to winter and spring season.
Roosting and preening time are same 1.
10 hour for Peahen in summer.
Resting time is the highest and calling time is the lowest for Peacock and Peahen in all seasons.
In conclusion we can say that day long activities vary based on season and sex.
