Have seen these before but this time it came to the deck. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
If there is a flock of those loose in your area, I think you will regret having them find your feeding stations.,. Hank
They may be beautiful birds but I have to admit that I wouldn't want one in my garden. Maybe it will move on soon.
It sure looks like a female Peacock (as the males have a very large tail) - But these birds are indigenous to arid climates (like in the deserts of southern Pakistan). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0jr4YZjG7Q So how exactly did a Peacock make it's way in British Columbia? I guess someone somewhere must be missing an exotic pet...
Its a male. Its tail is hanging over the trellis.The famales are just a dull brown. We have them wandering around some of the parks here.
Iffin it ain't a movin' on soon, put you a snake (rubber, of course) out there on the deck to help it on it's way.
Thats lovely Ive seen peacocks wandering the grounds of the Beardsley Zoo in Connecticut, we dont get many round these parts I got a nice pic of a male at the zoo. I said to my bf "I wish he'd open his tail, that would be a nice shot" and guess what the bird did? Yep, opened that tail to its fullest!
