My wife and I live ihis beautiful township Reliance Greens. A sprawling campus with over 50000 families living in a lush forest area, we are surrounded by a variety of birds and trees.
Every morning it is a pleasure to hear the peacocks cackle. We have PEACOCKS walking right across the main roads and backlanes without any fear.
I thought peacocks were too big too fly. I was mistaken. Here just across my rear balcony we have a family of peacocks roosting on top of a tree with wide branches. Every evening they fly home at 6.30 after the day's adventures.... I can time them by the clock. Six of them .... they space themselves to reach their roost 20 seconds apart. The is a lot of cackling as they get set for the night and it is all calm till break of dawn. By 5.30 in the morning they are up and cackling, and promptly by six they are off in single file to begin a new day.

Yes. Will post some pictures when I can. My camera does not have a zoom. Also the birds nest in the evening when the light is poor.

i only see peacocks through pictures, and well, whenever we go to the zoo. i always thought peacocks are some sort of fairies. they are so beautiful and enchanting whenever they thrust their feathers like a fan. lovely. and you are very blessed to see them everyday.

Thank you @Yadah04. Yes, I am very blessed to be among natures beauties. Peacocks are shy creatures and scurry of when humans come near. But in my township, they are used to people and are not too afraid. I occasionally get to see them on the roads when I am going round in the township. But the peacocks in the trees, it is hard to take a picture, because it gets dark by then. So I have downloaded a picture from the net. Hope you like it.
