We have had two peacocks resident on my place since they wuz borned 18 years ago. Fancy Pants (AKA: Big Boy) who is most ricky-tick the Alpha, and Beau, his brother.
They are hand-tame, and Fancy Pants and Himself entertain the beautiful chillun that live nearby when we dance together. I will spread my arms, and Fancy Pants will fluff up his HUGE feathers...
