My in laws used to have Peacocks, they got eaten by foxes which was a shame, they looked great, I only saw them a couple of times but it does tend to lend the place an air of laid back class.

Is Hunt Hall open to the public ?

It's spent the morning following me around the house looking through the windows at me

I opened the back door and it nearly walked straight in ....... I'm guessing it's a tame one from somewhere near by.... it's been nice having it strut around the place, may even consider buying a couple now?

He's right, a Peacock goes round dragging a folded Mardi gras/Brazillian carnival/Drag Act type fan behind it. That is indeed a Hen.

No the male ones are just as dowdy, the fancy ones are the gay ones and the ladies do like a gay man.

I wonder why this one is pecking on DCI's patio door ?

That is definitely a young male. The females are dull, brown and uninspiring. So what's new
