OUR WORLD, Wild Bird Wednesday & Nature Notes - Just Peacocking About . . .

This visitor to my garden may be jung and inexperienced 

but as I went to call the chickens, he promptly displayed 

for me.

His feathers are not yet fully grown but you have to give 

him 10 points for trying.

Shivering his feathers and turning

to show off the back end which displayed the engineering 

works of how he can lift and hold up that huge fan

when it is fully grown.

Actually, I find the back view quite enchanting.

After a curtain call or two he calmly walked off into 

the rose garden to help with the weeding.

I look forward to having all three fly up for a visit.

Their flight, for such a big bird, is surprisingly silent.

For all those of you who wondered how we can stand 

those loud screeches, it is just like the striking of the 

grandfather clock, you sit up in bed as though startled 

when it does NOT strike. I had not realised how much 

I had missed the peacocks until I heard their familiar 

call again. Apart from that, they certainly let you know 

when a strange car comes down the road and since the 

goose is taking a break from guard duty while she 

incubates, it feels good to have a second line of defence.

Have a happy week every one!
