I have heard the units called many things, its a supposedly chinese modular unit nicknamed "Golden Venture Units". There is some information available on it here: http://www.origami-resource-center.com/ ... lding.html

"There are very few diagrams for these types of models because, given enough units, you can make almost anything!"

So, its not likely ;p. I've not seen that peacock one before really, but it doesn't look too "hard". It seems mostly based on the swan. David Lister has an article on them on the BOS website, and mentions some books. He also mentions The Source shop from OUSA has a section on the books, but I can't seem to open it to look right now...

Looking at Amazon, there are these three books in a series:
