I appreciate the diehard faithful readers of this blog; some of you may recall when I blogged here about a peacock nest that hatched in our back yard. The peacocks have been roaming the neighborhood since, and they do visit occasionally.

Hi,
I had peacock in the 1970's. We used to eat their egg. Yummy. Really!
The white peacock are female, the blue peacocks are male. They has a call which sounds like a child crying HELP. They will roost in the trees.
We were able to get fresh vegetable matter from a local restaurant to feed them.
Ours were caged at night because the raccoons were the local predators.
thanks for letting me reminisce about the past
