Max, our peacock has been showing off his lovely tail feathers this spring. He has 2 female friends here also, but they are not interested much in being photographed. Max on the other hand is used to it. Today, for instance, he was roosting in a tree in our front yard when a person pulled into the driveway. All they wanted was to take a picture of him with their camera phone. We have many many other birds including geese, ducks, chickens, quail, and guineas. Only 3 peafowl though. That is enough. They are really not good for much other than to look at. The hens lay very few eggs. When Max molts though we pick up the feathers that are all over the yard. Then I can use them as photo props, and sometimes kids who come over to play find the feathers in the yard and are so excited to bring them home with them.
