The peacock is one of the most recognized and beautiful bird in the world. It is a common endemic breeding resident of India, Sri Lanka and Nepal. It is found in dry, semi-arid, forest, agricultural areas and near the human habitat. In 1963 India declared the Mayura (Sanskrit for Peacock or blue peafowl) as the National bird of India. It is a common and the most recognizable bird species in the avian community of Shekhawati region as well as Rajasthan state. Over Rajasthan, Haryana and the peripheries of Delhi was once a rich peacock belt, but in the last few decades, the species had declined as compared to past. A major cause of the declining population of the peacock was poaching. This study is a secondary data analysis of the peacock population in Shekhawati region of Rajasthan. Data set of 11 years from the year of 2010 to 2020, used in this study was obtained from the Forest department of Rajasthan. The results of the analysis of data are that numbers of Peacock have increased and this study also highlights a good growth in Peacock's population in the study area. The population of peacocks is increasing due to protection by the Forest department and growing awareness in public on poaching of birds being a non-bailable offence. Since 2011, except the years 2012 and 2014, the peacock population has been increased continuously and from the year of 2015 to 2020, increase is above 05 per cent every year in this region. Thanks to increased awareness and strengthening of legislative action, their population has reached satisfactory levels in recent years. We can apply these protectionary measures to improve numbers of threatened species of our state as well as our country and can maintain a healthy ecosystem.
