That's a peahen, no? If you mean both sexes, peafowl is the term yo you're looking for.

Cats who go outside used to live half as long as only-always-inside cats.

That number's now doubled again. (Sourced: regional manager of an Animal Shelter)

There's feral flocks of them in a few parts of the Americas, and they're native somewhere. There was a peahen in the Florida suburbs I grew up in that thought she was a turkey and joined a turkey flock, and friends in Orlando had a whole flock of peafowl in their neighborhood that were beautiful terrors who would scream and poop everywhere.

True. My cat is tiger inside the house and always wants to go outside but then immediately changes his mind.
