Peacocks are known to be some of the best “watch-dogs” around. When they spot people or things they don’t know they tell everyone in ear’s-reach!
This is what “essortment” says about peacocks…
“When many people think of a peacock, the first thing that comes to mind is the beautiful colors of this bird’s feathers. Blue, green, gold, and the appearance of what looks like an eye, right in the center of some of the feathers, are the trademarks of this bird. They also have a crest, or crown, on top their head, making them appear even more regal than they already do. The peacocks beak is on average an inch long in a full-grown bird. Reaching heights of over three feet, an adult peacock’s ‘train’ of tail feathers can be sixty inches in length. A peacock does not come into this full glory of feathers until he is about three years old. For centuries, the peacock’s feathers have been used to adorn clothing and people themselves.”
