Here he gets a drink from a small water feature

Then he comes over for a bit of fish food .

Beautiful.

Years ago we had a pair stop by for a day. We never did find out where they came from. They were noisy and spent most of the day at the peak of our roof. We enjoyed the visit and got a lot of nice pictures.

Wayne, love Billy your peacock. I had been thinking of getting a peacock but was not sure what the care and down side of caring for a peacock. And love your pond and waterfall too. I need to see a closere pic of the waterfall if you do not mine, please.

Peafowl are native to the Himalayan Mountains , so they do well in cold climates. They only ask to be fed and protected from the cold wind.

About 6 years ago his father ( now decided) wandered onto our property and was hanging out. Fearing for his life I built a large pen for him.
After 2 years I bought him a peahen and they raised Billy and Jane. I now have the one male and two females.
They are fun to have around and are very strong flyer's if danger is near.
The only down side is they are extremely loud when they call to each other. On the plus side , you don't have to set your alarm clock.

6 am every morning if you like it or not.

Hi Myra. This is the closest one I have right now. Did you want to see anything specific ? I could take any pic you like.

And a night shot from 2 years ago.

Anyone but me notice the fish swimming in the glass fish condo hanging over the pond surface in the last pic?

OMG! I didn't know peacocks could fly that distance! That's how they get onto roofs and such around some places here.

Wayner, Do your peacocks fly elsewhere during the day or do they stay put?

They will sometime walk about 200 yards to the neighbors and then fly home if their dog cases them.
They sure slow traffic down when they are in the front yard. I have met many neighbors because of them.

Wow your pond and planting are beautiful, I wish you would tell me about the glass condo the fish are in, and a closer pic. Would also like to see more pictures of the stone work on the building.
Just keep the pictures coming they are all candy to the eyes.
