i was riding through a country lane a few months back, turned a corner and found a peacock relaxing in the middle of the road. it trotted in front of me for a moment before flying over a hedge.
I actually do have some peacock photos around somewhere. Twas motoring about LA with the one 4YearGraduate when he took a detour up a hill that he said was known to be inhabited by the beasts. Sure enough, we saw several just lounging in people's yards, sitting on the roofs of cars, etc. Didn't expect that in LA.
I used to rent a house in Cairns years ago and for a few weeks we had a stray peacock lurking around. It was awesome when i had a room for rent and this beautiful girl turned up to check out the room and the peacock was doing a full display on the front lawn. Perfect timing and she did move in.
There are super high end cockfights around here that use peacocks in the fights.
1%ers stand up!
A peacock roosted(?) in my boy's folk's backyard in high school. My boy, who was always acting hard, didn't mention this to us, so when the creature came strutting around the corner in full spread we were awe-struck for a few seconds. We were smoking sweets and jamming Screw tapes.
Me: What the fuck is that?
My Boy: The fuck it look like, man-a peacock.
Me:Where's it from?
My boy: He escaped from the zoo.
Me: What does he eat?
My boy: Grains and shit, man, don't come at him like that.
I remember that snatch of conversation like it was yesterday. The peacock was from the zoo( his folk's called and the zoo people said they were a peacock short) and it had disappeared a week prior. The zoo people were just as baffled by the peacock's choice of residency as we were. There are literally a million places between the zoo and my boy's house, including a lake and creeks etc., so for the peacock to choose a house in the middle of a residential was strange. After a week the zoo people came and got him, thus ending our week with a peacock.

unfortunately i have no photographic evidence.
Will also be discounting any non-photographic evidence from Stackswell as being under-the-influence.
BOOM
And karaoke. Don't forget the karaoke.
And the ride? UN-BOOM.
Photo taken FROM THE RIDE. 4YG actually did some super-slow drive-by moves on a couple of peacocks so I could get some shots.
Being Canadian, I will consider the ante upped if you can post polar bear or whale shots.
Next to your ride, natch.
And I can't drive nor know how to ride a bike...snatch.
I don't even belong in this thread.
Sorry,

If you ever come to Oxford, visit the Trout Inn. They always filmed Inpsector Morse having a pint there, and the garden is home to 3 or 4 peacocks.

These things are so good. They opened one close to my place & it's hard to resist.
Annette Peacock = Close, but no cigar, even in Argentina. Ford Taunus/Cortina still running? Respect.
4 posts in 2 years and it needs subject matter this deep to bring forth a 5th.
Next week I will get one with the peacock on the bike. Freals.
