Majestic Peacock

It was in the news on CTV about those beautiful peacocks on top of the roof of some houses in the mainland of Vancouver. Would you believe? What on Earth those peacocks roaming freely in the sub-urban community?

Maybe they are pet for a family and then suddenly this pet burst out its population and that's the reason why you can see them on the yard and on the street in Vancouver. Too big for its breaches? The peacock is huge bird that can expand up to 6 to 8 ft. especially when the peacock spreads its majestic wings.

Trying to impress? Mating season? You're so vain? Modelling for your eyes to see? When the lovely peacock shows it wings spread wide open you can assume that the big bird is trying to get ready and prepared for anything.  That it is very alert and  warning you of something. It's a tactical defence. Intelligent peacock never ceases to amaze us. What could be the bird's gender?

Peacock bird is a sacred pheasant according to legends and the national bird of India. To have peacock as a family pet? Why not? Instead of a python, boa,  lion, tiger or alligator or monkey... peacock is a good replacement for a wild pet ONLY if you can manage to clean up their mess.
