Huge Spread of Feathers!
********* Thanks everyone! This pic made Explore #425 on Oct 1 2007 *****************
This is the first of two peacocks that put on such a wonderful singing and dancing show - in their best finery! I was the only human visitor at this section of the Zoo (an elephant paddock).
An unexpected delight and highlight!
Several peacocks and peahens have full freedom within the Melbourne Zoo - I have often seen some of them most visits that I make - they travel very widely! I remember watching a peacock and peahen together whilst we (all three of us) were enjoying the Japanese Gardens section of the Zoo.
I guess they could leave at any time but I assume that life is very good for them at the Zoo, so why leave?
