r/peacocks

Jet usually fills up on dog kibble and a tortilla but it’s taco night after all

Neighborhood has a wild peacock. He has been on his own for years and likes to hangout in my back yard some days. I noticed lately he likes to stare at my shed and present himself. Do i need to get him a girlfriend? Hearing him call to nothing makes me feel bad for him.

Adult peacocks and peahens and a juvenile peacock.

This is one of the regulars at my house. Our neighbor can feed him by hand and practically raised him from a child. Though wild, he's domesticated and his name is Ink :)

She studied at the School of Industrial Art in Geneva and latter taught painting at the school she founded in Geneva (The Mary Golay School). Since 1904 she lived and worked in Paris.

Not sure who he was trying to impress? 😂 For reference, I do not look like a peahen.
