Pavo cristatus (Family: Galliformes; common name: Indian Peafowl; Peacock)
Those photos were not taken at the same time or the same visit to the zoo. The two peacocks at the top photo could well be used to promote "Love Story". Then follow pictures of the male, the female and finally the young pigeon following its mother at the bottom picture.
