"It is surprising that the peacock, which is usually found at an elevation of 1,600 feet, has been sighted at an altitude of 6,500 feet,” ​​Dhyan Singh Karayat, an official with the Bageshwar division,

Wildlife experts have interpreted the sighting of a lowland bird like the peacock at a height of 6,500 feet in Uttarakhand as an unusual development caused by ecological changes in the Himalayan region due to increased human activity.

While this unusual pattern may reflect a temporary seasonal shift, more frequent occurrences could imply a broader habitat migration trend among peacocks.
