Whether they will agree or they won’t agree depends on a lot of variables, which is why I am asking the question to begin with.

In this guide book, the brown bird is labeled as the female of this species. Please tell us why it is labeled female?

I'm assuming this agreement occurs after he has informed all the visitors that the brown ones are female.

And if you were to state the converse, that the peafowl with eyes in their lengthy tail feathers are male, then you would have to define some peafowl with ovaries and thus egg cells as male, and this has been in the scientific literature since 1942.
