beautiful bird.

Oh yes....they can be noisy. One or two would be tolerable, but get a whole flock and things can get messy!

:wink:
I still love them, mess or not. Heck, they're birds!
The zoo here had a bunch of them but they had to "relocate" them because a toddler went chasing after one and yanked on the tail feathers. The peacock did the only natural thing, went to peck the yanker. So in the interest of liability, no more free roaming peacocks. I would rather have seen a sign to the effect, "toddlers who attack peacocks will be feathered. Or something like that. Where were the parents!
Sorry for the vent!

Peacocks are interesting flyers. The males can fly quite far. When they are landing, they silently float through the air, and the tail trailing behind sort of holds them up.

A neighbor here raises them and I absolutely love to hear their call. hauntingly beautiful and the call takes me back to my childhood and my dad taking me to the zoo. You could hear their cry all over the zoo.
Love em!

Try getting a picture of him when he spreads his tail and use it for a quilt. That would be beautiful. I think peacocks are just gorgeous. I just love God's beautiful color palette in Nature.
