I just got the strangest text from our neighbor Rebecca, she texted me and asked if we had a Peacock??
I was so confused because who the heck owns a Peacock was she making a joke?
Then she sent me a picture of a Peacock in her yard!!
How funny!!! And so cool I would have loved to see it myself to take photos to.
I don't even think they are local to here so definitley very rare to see one!!

Peacock is our national bird and so we cannot keep it as a pet. But I have peacocks visiting us ever so often. There are loads of photos that I have taken and here is a video clip

I used to have lots of feathers from Peacocks we collected at the zoo we would put them in a planter so people could see them.

They are beautiful birds but, they make a weird sound with their calls. They sound like they are making this mournful, relentless call to someone named Leo.

Peacocks are beautiful. I know the writer Hunter S. Thompson owned a couple when he was alive.

They are "exotic foul" and some people keep them, who knows why. You have to make sure they have enough warmth in the winter, etc. I have known several places near me where people have them.

We live in the country far from the zoo so i am not sure how it would get out here unless it was a pet, my neighbor said she tried to get closer to it but it ran into the woods, i just hope it was not hurt by other animals out there.

Lovely photo. One day I suddenly saw something moving in the weeds by the chicken coop. I looked hard to see what was up and whoa. A peacock rooster was there. Hilarious and very handsome and totally unexpected. He ran down the driveway. I saw him another time so he must live near us. Maybe he could tell there were hens around.
