  • The Green Peafowl (Peacock) of Konbaung Dynasty

    The green peafowl, called the 'daung' (Burmese: ဒေါင်း) or u-doung (ဥဒေါင်း) in Burmese, is one of the national animals of Myanmar and is strongly associated with the Konbaung monarchy and the anti-colonial nationalist movements and thus is popularly seen as the symbol of the Burmese state.

    Embraced by kings and freedom fighters alike, Myanmar's peacocks have long been a national symbol of pride and resistance -- but they are becoming ever harder to spot in the wild. Decades ago the birds, with their bright green plumage and famously ostentatious male tail feathers, were ubiquitous.

    But like so many of Myanmar's most iconic flora and fauna, rampant poaching and habitat loss under decades of unaccountable junta rule has hit their numbers hard. For Myanmar, the declining peacock population is more than just a conservation tragedy -- it's a blow to the national psyche.

    The bird occupies a lofty place in the country's culture. For decades it was the official symbol of Burma's last kings, the Konbaung dynasty. Their monarchs wore peacock insignia on their robes and famously sat atop the Peacock Throne until their rule was toppled by British colonialists.

    The dancing peacock, ka-daung (Burmese: ကဒေါင်း) was used as the symbol of the Burmese monarch and was stamped on the highest denominator coins minted by Burma's last dynasty.

    Upon independence, it was again featured on Burmese banknotes from 1948 til 1966. The 'dancing peacock' also appeared on certain flags of the Konbaung dynasty, British Burma, and also the State of Burma which was a collaborationist Japanese client state during the Second World War.

    An alternative pose, to denote struggle, is the fighting peacock, khoot-daung (Burmese: ခွပ်ဒေါင်း) as seen visibly on the party flag of Aung San Suu Kyi's de jure disbanded National League for Democracy.

    Due to the political connections, the peacock has been discarded in favor of the Chinthe by the military junta which ruled Burma after 1988.
