A Visit With Peacocks

In the neighborhood my parents live in there are wild Peacocks.  They have been there for many years.  I didn't catch any of the males strutting around today.  But, I will be keeping an eye out for that and a Peahen (female Peacock) with her babies.


The male is called a Peacock and a female is called a Peahen.

The Peacock is the one that struts around with his feathers spread to attract a mate or mates.

The Peacock is about twice the size of a Peahen.

They like to sleep in trees or other high places to protect themselves from predators.

They are omnivores meaning they eat both plants and meats.

I need to catch this guy strutting his stuff! LOL!
