So yesterday I posted about following a peacock on Facebook? Look what showed up at my in-laws' house yesterday!



Not the Facebook peacock, by the way. A different peacock, who is not on social media as far as I know, out lookin' for the ladies. :)

Handsome fella! I wish him luck with the lady peahens. =)

He's going to be hard put to find some around there--they've got a bunch of loons and a pair of bald eagles as well as herons and egrets, but no peahens as far as I've seen!

[yhlee]

Aww, poor guy. I hope he eventually moves on somewhere where the ladies are flocking! ^_^

gorgeous! he's a totally different kind of peacock, even!

(feel free to post related photos to Elliott's page! i'm loving all the fan-engagement going on there.)

I think I'll post them to his page--the coincidence is too good to pass up. :)

Beautiful!

Alas, I feel he was disappointed in his (probable) search for love: there's a bunch of loons and a pair of bald eagles out there, but no peahens. Except maybe wherever he escaped from.

Peacocks! I love peacocks. Any idea of why there's a random peacock wandering around your in-law's house?

[telophase.livejournal.com]

No clue! We asked, but haven't gotten a return email yet. It's kind of a hidden subdivision, and I can't imagine the HOA letting someone keep peacocks. Their house is on the edge of it, though, and right next to a state park, so it's possible that there's some in the park, maybe?

He's on a roof? How'd he get up there? Can peacocks fly? [Googles] Really, they can fly a little bit?

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Yup, they can fly!

[yarrowkat]

they can fly quite well, and get up into tall trees and roofs and such by preference for roosting. our peacock often hangs out in the (very tall old) cottonwood trees and on the barn roof.
