   You’re right.. the top one does blend in very well. The white one in the video is gorgeous!

   Hmm, without color, he’s just a weird looking bird!

   ‘the unfortunately named’ cracked me up! Clever!
   Beautiful birds they are, loud sounds they make! Have you ever heard one? It’s a really unexpected loud ‘MEOOUW’ sound. (Neighbours of ours had a couple of peacocks.)

   It’s funny that you describe the sound that way – as a “meouw”. I have an obnoxious cat that makes a very loud “MEOUW!!” sound when she wants attention, which is usually in the middle of the night. I tell people my peacock kept me up all night.

   Peacocks are beautiful birds. I enjoyed seeing some running around the Denver zoo. I would love to raise some, but they are so expensive…$300 for eight (you have to order at least eight for shipping purposes). That’s expensive fox/owl food.

   Very nice video! This reminds me of a book by D.H. Lawrence: ‘The White Peacock”. It’s beautifully written and I like it much better than another of his book “Lady Chatterly’s Lover”. A white peacock is a rare bird, I think. Thanks for your visit.

    Now I know where my “Pierre” flew off to! But, what I don’t know is, how the Disney people have managed to keep him captive all these years. I mean, I fed him the finest Cat Food available!

    I’ve never seen a white peacock either. Thanks for posting these beautiful creatures.

    I love peacocks, such beautiful birds and from what I hear, great “watch birds” Thanks for stopping by my blog and I’ll let my little Tink know she has a fan.

    Pretty bird and oh what a tail!

    I enjoyed your photos of Sanibel Island. It looks like a tropical paradise.

    Beautiful Photo! Where I grew up, we use to have wild ones in the open field next door to our home. They were always so beautiful to watch.

    I love peacocks. Only bad thing about them is that they tend to get a bit loud during mating season.

    I’m surprised at how well the colourful peacock blended in with his surroundings. I wonder if the white one is an albino. Nice shots, Tink!

    Great peacock photos and the video of the white one was a lot of fun to watch. I didn’t know about the white ones either and thought they were albinos but was told that they were the white phase of the peacock. They are very interesting birds and very beautiful.

    Gorgeous looking birds aren’t they? There are some in the municipal park where I live, but I have never seen him lift his tail yet. In fact, last time I saw him, he had no tail at all!
