Aren't they gorgeous? After we moved here, we were out driving and went around a curve- we had to stop - peacocks were crossing the road right in front of us in OHIO! Then a male flew up into abig pine tree, his tail hung down, it was so beautiful! Apparently some people breed them for use on farms as "guard-birds", they're supposed to be better than having a guard dog. My one friend boarded her horse where they had a couple of them, I saw them sitting on top of the barn once. They sure are loud!
