(med) Peacock or Indian Peafowl, Pavo cristatus (Phrin Las 1987). rma bya'i sha / mdongs / mkhris pa / snying / khrag, Peacock flesh, eye of the peacock feather, gall, heart and blood (Phrin Las 1987).
Pavo cristatus feather extract in the form of water or ash can be used to treat the poisonous bites of Russell vipers Vipera russelii, common cobras Naja naja, and Malabar pit vipers Trimeresurus malabaricus. The extract is high in iron, protein, and steroids, and acts as an inhibitor to harmful enzymes in the venom that cause tissue damage. This is a traditional treatment in India for those who live far away from hospitals and doctors. This species name in Sanskirt means “killer of snakes” because they eat young cobras (Ophiophagus Hannah), making them invaluable and often revered. Peacocks are native to Sri Lanka and India, found only from 900 to 1200 m above sea level in areas with appropriate forest habitat to support them, but are able to adapt to much colder climates than their native range.
