The Congo peacock was discovered in 1936. The Congo peacock is the only Native African bird bigger than a Falcon. The female lays 3 or 4 eggs. The male bird has dark, glossy plumage and a crest of black feathers on the head. Scientists think they live in pairs.
Congo peacocks make their nests out of sticks in a tree.
The mother sits on three or four eggs for about 26 days.
