They are such beautiful birds. We have a lot of peacocks wandering around Leeds Castle in Kent. I lked the peacocks in the hotel grounds in India. They are so pretty when they spread their feathers.

@Deepizzaguy I guess they are too heavy with all that tail to fly too far.

I did not know that peacocks can fly only for a short distance.

It seems that the zoo officials need to ramp up the security in their grounds, as it seems that they did not figure on a peacock being able to fly past the perimeter fence. They should secure the premises to ensure this does not happen again.

You are right that security at the zoo needs to be tighter.
