Encounter With Peacocks


While on a walk with Frankie this morning we encountered a group of Peacocks.

I looked up the name for a group of Peacocks and were presented with multiple choices. My favorite was a ostentation, but they can also be called a pride, muster, or party. I also learned that a group of female peacocks, or fowls in general, would be called a bevy. I believe these were all female.

Frankie was remarkably calm, although I did have to restrain him once.

    I wonder what he was thinking. Those look delicious but too big to hunt? They’d be fun to chase but look at the size of the beaks and claws?

    If these were dudes and not pea hens, we’d definitely have to go with ostentation. Frankie was quite well behaved, especially as it was four against one. We think he would have been the loser in a face to beak confrontation.

    Three’s a crowd, four ~ no way, says Frankie! Can’t help but wonder what his movements may have been had any one of them spread out those glorious tail feathers … he was a remarkably restrained fellow. And yes: ostentatious, totally right. (but where, oh when, oh why did peacocks land in a Florida suburb?)

    I had difficulty loading the video, but I can imagine the overwhelming desire to attack the giant birds. My cats have learned to leave alone our parrots, who have demonstrated their beak skills on the cats.
