Peacock in a tree.

Oops, wrong tree.


Ta-da! Took that picture maybe 4 days ago. Never seen one in a tree before this. (I was on an electric wheelchair at the zoo at the time.)

1. A funny for you...

A rooster was strutting around the hen house one Easter morning and came across a nest of eggs dyed every color of the rainbow.
The rooster took one look at the colorful display, ran outside and beat the heck out of the resident peacock.


I have traveled to India and have seen many peacocks in trees. Their behavior is much like chickens. They roost and are wonderful burglar alarms (and not just because they have a hundred eyes )

2. They also get in fights with geese.

3. Beautiful the way his tail drapes down

But you have to wonder if having that tail is somewhat of a nuisance in the off season.
It would be like wearing a prom formal all.the.damn.time.

Lovely tree that he isn't perched in

4. Had to sneak that one in somehow.

5. They look like artwork!

I mean that. The composition, the colors, the direction the eye is coaxed into following. All of it. They're great!

7. There is, or was, a park in So Cal & they were everywhere.

Trees, grass, sidewalks. Screaming their heads off. They're beautiful, but loud.

8. We used to have some in the wildlife sanctuary. Now and then they'd wander off and get in trees.

It took awhile, but eventually we got all the neighbors educated between the difference between a peacock scream and a cougar scream and they quit freaking out.

9. Anthropomorphizing here, but they seem one of the most vain of Nature's creatures.

A friend of mine had peacocks, both brightly-colored and white, in his farmyard
and whenever I'd visit, a few of them would run over to obsessively check out
their reflections in my chrome bumpers.
