Rough couple of days. But I went in to uni today, so clearly it is time for Peafowl Adventures: Photo Edition!
Not very good photos, sadly, because I left my camera at home, and in any case, I need to charge the batteries for it. And my laptop's webcam, which I used instead, has trouble with daylight. (But works very nicely indoors.)
The peatoddler I mentioned before is now very clearly a peakid. Look at this spunky youngster:
When I dubbed the peakid the peatoddler, it was maybe five inches high. I'd now say it's about ten inches high. feet to head-top, standing straight. Here's the peakid with the peamama:
Taking photos of a white peahen, outdoors, with a camera that dislikes daylight is a bit tricky, so this is the best shot I got of her:
And, because the other one wouldn't get out of the sunlight, two shots of just one of the peacocks:
Caption submissions are so needed for that second one. "Pea... what, you say?"
The two pealesbians appear to have broken up; if they haven't, they have a much more casual relationship than was on place when the two brown peahens were patently a couple. The brown ones wouldn't be parted. However, all three peahens and the peakid were chilling out together in a casual, relaxed manner as I was leaving the Dolphin Theatre, where I was taking the pictures... I know, because they were chilling on the exact path I needed to take to leave, and as I walked between them, the non-mama brown peahen blucked at me incredibly reproachfully.
"Bluck. BLUCK. BLUCK BLUCK."
"I'm sorry! I'm just going over there! I'm sorry!"
"BLUCK."
And then they all pointedly moved back a bit, away from the direction I was heading.
The peacocks were calmer, although one of them bitched at me when I stopped taking pictures of him. (No, really.) I didn't see either of them try to approach any of the peahens, so I didn't see whether trying to do so still gets them beaten up; in any case, the peadrama seems mostly to have settled down, but the peahens are VERY disapproving of interlopers.Current Mood:  exhausted

:D
Captions for the second, "Just checkin'" or "Oh, yeah, still got it."
Maybe the peahens have decided to be "just friends?"
Haha, the peacocks my uncle used to have on his farm loved being looked at/having pictures taken/being paid attention to. When cars would pull up they'd walk up to people that get out and just strut "Look at me, I am soooo gorgeous."
I am afraid of all largeish female birds with baby birds. I was attacked by a good when her baby wandered up to me asking for handouts (on my uncles farm) lol.
