Peacock Update

The breeding season ended with the summer's end. The peacocks lost all their long feathers, and stopped being so aggressive and territorial with one another. With the colder months approaching, I noticed their feathers fluffing up to keep themselves warm. Also, their new feathers are growing back, more vibrant in color and sheen than ever before.

Guests who are serious birders don't seem to be very interested in the pea fowl, but the rest of the people are facinated. I myself enjoy observing their behavior very much. I don't know about other places, but our birds love papaya leaves, and recently discovered Isaac's lettuce patch. They will only eat what is growing, and will not take cut up veggies or fruits. Curious!
