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

This guy and some of his pals like to hang out in the main flamingo habitat area. I missed them this year when they had their full plumage but even without those magnificent tail feathers I find them quite beautiful.
