I love the vibrant feathers of a Peacock! The peacock roams freely around the Zoo, so it was awesome seeing this Peacock up and personal plus I was allowed to snap a few photos before the rush of people came and scared the bird away! 
Fun Facts about Peacocks,
- Only a male Peacock is called a Peacock, female peacocks are called peahens and the babies are peachicks.
- The species of this bird is called peafowl.
- The male aren't born with their vibrant feathers so it's usually hard to find the gender until about six months! That is when the vibrant feathers show if they're a male.
- Even though the feathers can reach up to 6 feet long, these birds can fly! I have witnessed these birds fly and I was very impressed!
Lastly, "strange law" in Arcadia, California - peacocks have the right away. You have to yield to peacocks!

Belongs to me!

I wasn't too scared of the peacock until I saw the peacock fly, but I didn't hear any noise from this one though. The peacock was very beautiful but once people started crowding around the peacock, he ran away.

Peacocks are #1 of the road/street only in Arcadia, California though.

@infatuatedbby Ah, OK. In our parks here in the Bay Area, we have who yields to whom signs. Horses always win. Heh.

@infatuatedbby I just checked out, it's called peafowl. I am not sure if they have different spelling.

I did not know either until I researched the facts to write this discussion. You and I both learned.

I was amazed one time. I thought these birds could not fly due to their large feathers but they sure can!!

Love the color in the photo you've captured of the bird. It looks like it was innocently going about its day...
