Just doing a bit of research (if u can call looking at a couple of website including Wikipedia research lol) about peafowl. Male peafowls are known as peacocks, females are peahens and babies are peachicks (awwww isn’t that cute!). Seems they like to roost in trees but prefer to nest on the ground and when its mating season not only do peacocks fan out their tails to attract attention, they also like to give a loud, high-pitched cry.
Ahh now I can hear u all asking why I should care about peacocks, well it’s like this folks, it seems my place of employment has its own pet peacock. One day he turned up, out of the blue, after a while the rangers came and took him away when it became he wasn’t going anywhere but, he came back and there he has stayed since. The suspicion is he was living in another suburb at a garden nursery centre which has several peacocks and he decided that the grass was greener at the library. Fortunately for him it has certainly seemed to work out that the grass is in fact greener as he’s looking pretty healthy with a new tail presently growing in rather quickly.
All in all I like working somewhere which has its own pet peacock and like to see him when I get to work and leave again. Not sure though that I’m looking forward to mating season if he’s going to be noisy...
