warning: barely related thread veer:
peacocks are ANNOYING, irritating birds!
their scream is one of the loudest things a bird can produce, on a par with a howler monkey. a famiy near me in glucestersire had two. they wander where they feel like, and make a rooster sound positively mute and innocuous. they also can be agressive and reguarly chase people, especially children.
peahens, however are not so misbehaved. recent studies have also shown that peahens, sensibly, do NOT choose a mate based on his tail display.
peacocks are edible tho
we now return you to the regularly scheduled thread.
