Flannery O'Connor (who raised peacocks) said it was false that the peacock's tail was intended to impress the females; she'd long-noticed the females seemed most singularly uninterested in the male's plumage, even as humans and other animals gape in amazement. (Obviously the peahens like to play hard to get.)
and what a sound they make! Do you remember that in Watsonville there are many farms that have these birds wandering around on them? Someone got the peacock fever way back when....they look more at home on your tropical isle.

"...we shall be free..."
Beautiful birds and great song.
Where is that? The zoo has great numbers of them. They are very attracted to shiny metal, as these birds demonstrate.
That is our driveway.
