Memories ------ we had Peter (an older peacock) who graced us with his presence for 5 years and then he simply walked away with a flock of turkeys one Fall day. He would eat out of our hands and as a thank you he would fan his gorgeous tail for us to admire. In the Winter he would sleep on the chimney and kept himself from freezing and if it was blizzarding he would walk into the barn and settle down in a manger (the horses weren't too happy about losing a manger full of hay but they tolerated him). His call was absolutely majestic and everyone from a couple of miles around were acquainted with him and would feed him when he went visiting. We went out looking for him for awhile after he left and several people had seen him with his turkey flock but he never returned ......... so ........... enjoy your boy for as long as he chooses to stay with you 'cause they are an absolute delight.
