peacock in a tree. a treecock. Seen earlier today while working. the place I'm working at this week has maybe a dozen of them just roaming around. They are tame and hand fed. And LOUD. If you haven't heard one of these when they call, it's startling.
This one kept following me and showing his feathers. I think he wanted to start some shit w me.
Wow majestic
Been in a place with at least 20 of these. Extremely annoying and funny in equal parts, I love them.
There are a couple that roost a few doors down from my house, and they are moderately vocal, and EXTREMELY territorial against humans. My daughter has had to change her route to the bus stop because of how territorial they are.
These were mostly friendly, maybe a little less intelligent as far as birds go. I had to stop doing tasks a few different times to shoo them away from running equipment, and pipes being delivered. Or get them to get out of a walkway so I could drive a forklift past. Two of them kept standing in front of pipe being delivered and showing their feathers off to the material being delivered. They definitely had the run of the place. These guys were/are LOUD. Disturbingly loud. Much louder than the ones near my house. I'm wondering if it is related to environment maybe, the location in these photos is on an extremely large cattle ranch so maybe them being outdoors makes them feel the need to be louder or something.
Whoops I made a mistake
