Spring is here....according to Georgie

Spring is here....At least Georgie thinks so. Georgie is my 5 year old India Blue peacock. His mate Lucia is pretty not not as "pretty" as Georgie.

Georgie thinks sunshine is a reason for dancing. Maybe he's right...

Here is Georgie strutting around the peafowl yard.

He may be king of the roost.... but if he has a chance to dance he doesn't care who's on the purch. This is Purpleboy. He's a 1 year old purple peacock. He's got no train feathers yet but he does dance. At least until Georgie catches him trying to steal the show.

Peacocks take 3 years to get their train. They are actually back feathers not tail feathers as most people think. They use their tail feathers to push up and fan out their back feathers.

Purpleboy will be looking for a new home soon. Georgie, Purpleboy and Lucia share their yard with Major Benji and Mapps. Benji and Mapps are my purple pair and Purpleboys parents. Watch for pictures of them.
