History

As per government order numbered G.O.(P) 24/2007/F&WLD, Choolannur Pea Fowl Sanctuary was established in 15 May 2007.[1]

Description

Choolannur Pea Fowl Sanctuary is located in Chulanur village in Palakkad district of Kerala. The sanctuary is locally known as Mayiladumpara, which literally means "the rock where peacocks dance".[2] This bird sanctuary is under the jurisdiction of the Peechi Forest Division and was established in the memory of the famous Indian ornithologist and writer Induchoodan.[3]

The peafowl sanctuary covers an area of 5 km2 (1.9 sq mi).[4] Apart from peafowl, hundreds of other species of birds can also be seen here.[4] As of 2022, it is the only peafowl sanctuary in Kerala.[4]

Society and culture

When Rajasthan High Court Justice Mahesh Chandra Sharma made the highly controversial remark that peacocks do not mate and that female peacocks conceive from the tears of male peacocks, the number of visitors to the peacock sanctuary increased.[5]
