showing off

[ascott]

So this is Mr Bird....I was out collecting the hard to reach CDTs to come in for the first night since they've been awake (due to the crap weather report for the next few days) and I hear feathers fluffing behind me and it was Bird showing off his fancy new tail feathers....beautiful.

His old tail feathers are in a blue vase in the house....

I do enjoy seeing them in all there glory...

Beautiful. I'm so jealous, I've always wanted a peacock.

 

[Missy]

Breathtaking I have always wanted one too. Do you sell eggs?

Peacocks make the worst sounds in the world! He is very beautiful though.
I've heard that they can live rather long lives, like many of the large birds I suppose!

 

[N2TORTS]

I myself have hatched a " Pied" Royal blue ....looked like he had a white tux on .....urgh... .wonder where them photos went ...
Thanks for sharing ....your feathered friend!

[foxboysracing]

that is beautiful!!
Oddly enough I raise turtles and my mom raisies peacocks. She seems to have every color possible and truly enjoys breeding the various colors. I used to think that was the only color they came in... duh?? If I am thinking correctly she has like 8 or 10 different varieties..

They are great!

He is a real pleasure...he just showed up one day last year I think at the start of summer....and he likes to make his way here every day and get his seed, bread, greens and water...he lounges about and gets more food and water on his way out...he usually will not come over if it is crazy windy (I think because he has such a hard time going overall the fences with that big ole tail)...or crazy heavy rain....it is so funny, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the calls he does....I suppose you would either love it or be annoyed by it...lol

 

[bigred]

He Is beautiful- Is he another one of those misunderstood males

 

[ascott]

LMAO......

 

[DesertGrandma]

Beautiful bird. What a treat to have him stop by.

Very cool Angela! Thanks for share'n the pic! Next time I make it out to Cali u will have to show me all your kids in person. If we ever make it back there. Christys mom is going back out in May. But we were told ticket prices have doubled since last time we were there, that's a real bummer! Have a great day my friend!

 

[ascott]

Hi Chris!! Yup, you all better hollar when you guys come to Cali....I would love to

I can't believe that beautiful bird is just roaming around your neighborhood. The only place I can see something like that is at the local zoo. Wow...beautiful.

TerryO....I know right? Imagine my surprise the first day that I found him strolling the property...lol...we have made friends and i put food out each morning and night along with he comes up onto the porch to get his special treat of bread or spring/herb mix....he loves the spring mix (not the red or purple pieces, ever)...and I have a few watering holes on the property for the birds that he gets water from....there are also two guinea fowl that live between my property and the neighbor, they have been around since 2005ish....they are so funny...so have some fun stuff running about along with the quail, hawks, falcons, song birds, finch, starlings(they sure are destructive but are a beautiful bird) sparrows, rabbits with occasional coyote running through....

It is weird, now that he has become part of the flock here...when he or the guineas are off schedule I get worried....so dumb....but can not help it.....

Peacocks are so sweet!

The feathers are stunning, but I think I enjoy their songs/calls the best - such a weird & awesome bird!

 

[ascott]

My Mom keeps saying that I should get him a Pea Hen....but I have to remind her that he is not my bird....he is a dude on his own and I am worried that if I get a female that they won't like each other and not only that but she may lead him into a dangerous situation (you know, he trying to look out for her and all and not looking out for himself as he has been since he has developed his own gig and all?) But if it was up to my mother I would be a farm for all types of animals and critters....lol....my pocket book would not allow me to do that in the proper fashion, even though of course that would so totally be fun...so for now, I will be a stop in his day for some food and lounging space on the porch in the warm sun....
