I'm pretty sure ca. 50% of peacocks have one.
actually, all or nearly all peacocks have cocks. the ones that don't are peahens.
I was under the impression that male birds do not possess a protruding organ but indeed have a hole too, hence ‘no cock’.
didn't think i would be googling "peacock genitalia" today. anyway, you are right. i was confused because I know that ducks have penises, but as I just found out, ducks are actually an exception in the bird world. most birds just kind of rub their holes together. this is sometimes called "cloacal kiss", which is really funny.
TIL, and thank you for allowing me to avoid googling that
Peacocks actually have no penis whatsoever. Be glad. You give a bird a penis and they get really into rape

i wish i didn't have to see it honestly. i saw duck rape too many times and it's horrible every time.
That's interesting. I only knew about ducks and assumed peacocks would be similar.
They do look the raping kind, i'll give you that
