[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 8162749, member: 44728"] About 30 years ago, I rented an old Farm house in Suffolk for 6 months, together with its 6 Peacocks. We moved in on 1st December. The bloody things would sit on the chimneys at night, fanning their arses to keep warm. Then the night before Christmas, one fell down the living room chimney and made one hell of a mess of all the presents! Come the Spring, as soon as dawn broke they’d start squawking and wake everybody up! I let the dogs out one morning and the Golden Retriever chased them off the lawn. One of the cock birds took off and flew straight into a tall hedge. The dog was jumping up and pulling his tail feathers out. I did manage to stop it, before any more serious damage was caused, but the entire family flew off to our next door neighbours, about a quarter of a mile away, never to return while we were there, thank God! If anybody has ever read David Niven’s book “Go Slowly, come back Quickly” and how a Hollywood film Director discovered how to make a Peacock cock bird fan his feathers, on set with his ‘Goosing Stick’, you might feel some sympathy for that tail-less Peacock! The bar-steward could still fly though! [/QUOTE]
