When we took our grandson to The Greater Vancouver Zoo last Saturday, he was so excited to see the peacocks!
The Indian peafowl or blue peafowl (Pavo cristatus), a large and brightly coloured bird, is a species of peafowl native to South Asia, but introduced in many other parts of the world.
The male, or peacock, is predominantly blue with a fan-like crest of spatula-tipped wire-like feathers and is best known for the long train made up of elongated upper-tail covert feathers which bear colourful eyespots. These stiff feathers are raised into a fan and quivered in a display during courtship. Wikipedia

The Peacock is a omnivorous ground-feeder bird that eats insects, plants, seeds, and flower heads. The Blue Peacock (Pavo cristatus) finds his habitat in India and Sri Lanka.
One of San Antonio's most historic and beautiful attractions, the Quadrangle is ideal for families with children. The Quadrangle is home to deer, peacocks, guinea fowl, ducks and geese. The animals enjoy the visitors as much as the visitors enjoy them. The setting is so beautiful and historical that families with small children can enjoy the animals while military history buffs can explore the rich history of the grounds, walls and buildings. A sign close to the entrance states that no bread or crackers can be fed to the animals but it doesn't say anything about vegetables or fruits, which the deer and other Quadrangle animal residents enjoy. As soon as the animals see that you've got food, you'll be surrounded with two and four-legged friends looking for a handout. They'll eat out of your hand but they're gentle and won't get aggressive so having small children around is okay.
