I’m not sure who came up with the idea of little swans being ugly. Aren’t they adorable?

Some time spent with Belle and Bronson and the chicks. Great to catch up with David ( www.flickr.com/photos/birdsaspoetry ) and Dorothy ( www.flickr.com/photos/friendsintheair ). David had alerted me that the chicks were out of the nest on Sunday.

 

Happy Wing Wednesday!

Thank you for your visit and valued comments.

Peafowl is a common name for three species of birds in the genera Pavo and Afropavo of the family Phasianidae, the pheasants and their allies. Male peafowl are referred to as peacocks, and female peafowl as peahens. Male peafowl are known for their piercing calls and their extravagant plumage, which is especially prominent in the Asiatic species, which have an eye-spotted 'tail' or 'train' of covert feathers, which they display as part of a courtship ritual.

Despite the length and size of the covert feathers, the peacock is still capable of flight. The peafowl lives mainly on the ground in open forests or on cultivable lands where it forages for berries and grains, and also preys on snakes, lizards and small rodents. It makes loud calls, which makes it easier to detect, and are often used to indicate the presence of a predator in the forest areas. It forages on the ground in small groups and usually escapes on foot through undergrowth and avoids flying, though it flies into tall trees to roost. 12739

When they come for Pecans they fill their mouth with more than one and then fly away to eat in private:-)
