Just the other day we were discussing "where are all the peafowl this year".
Cold weather brought them all out because there's no lizards ANYWHERE! It's too cold for lizards to come out, they're all cowering somewhere frozen by the cold 57 degree weather we've had.
So the peafowl are on the hunt for food.
Yesterday we had at least 22 peahens and peacocks visiting our food bank. They love black oil sunflower seed, dog food nuggets and white bread.
Our two little "teeny" peafowl kids have grown up so big they are barely recognizable any more, they just look like young adults.
Here's the kids with Mom. We had three kids but one got lost somewhere along the way. Fortunately we have a young male and a young female to enlarge this years flock.
The flock grows every year but some of the birds move away to lord over their own turf and be boss.
Fortunately each Spring, at the end of May, we are rewarded with new baby peafowl.
This keeps the flock growing and vibrant, well, certainly vibrant.
