For "Outdoor Wednesday", I am sharing these cute baby peacocks and a single flower that finally bloomed for me!! Susan, at "A Southern Daydreamer" will have lots more fun outdoor photographs to share.
______________________________________________________________
We went to a local restaurant after church on Sunday. This place has an outdoor pen with peacocks. I knew, from their coloring, that one was a girl and one was a boy.
We hadn't been in a couple of months. Somebody's been busy!!
As usual, I had to visit the peacocks before we went inside. And guess what???? They are proud parents!!! I couldn't stop squealing when I saw them!! They are the color of the ground, so I spied them one at a time! It was so much fun. They are the sweetest little things I have ever seen!
Did you know that a baby peacock is called a peachick??
This is peachick #1
How cute is the little feather on his baby head?

Close-up of papa's beautiful feathers...no wonder the peahen succumbed to the wiles of such a handsome peacock!!!!

Before I got a picture of the mama peahen, this big thingy bird, ugly duckling of a goose, came up and I hauled!
I know...I have to say, "bless his heart" now.

I just had to share these next photos. I have been whining that I don't have any blooming flowers.
This was a surprise in the courtyard. Snapped it through the side lites from inside the house. It only lasted two days before it drooped and faded.

I have visions of you running like the wind when that ugly duckling of a goose showed up:)

Oh how pretty they are !
ReplyDeleteHow strange Rhonda. I was just at a nursery today and in their yard they had a Peacock just like that one on your OW. I heard some strange squawking noise, and low and behold, there he/she was sitting on the air conditioner.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
Happy OW
Love Claudie

How fun to see these sweet babies!
ReplyDeleteAre they at Cock of the Walk?? My best friend is a hostess/manager there and we saw 3 chicks there last Monday when we had dinner there!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to see me for Outdoor Wednesday. Looks like we both had post for the birds. Hee Hee Your peachicks & my parrots.
ReplyDeletePapa was beautful but, that last one was indeed an ugly duckling.
Hi Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteLove the peachicks. We used to have a pair of peacocks that lived next door. Every once in a while they would come over for a visit. Boy are they loud but beautiful. Thanks for sharing, loved your pics.

The peacocks are lovely. Great shots and post.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the peacocks and hens.
ReplyDeleteI just love peacocks--The colors are absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOne little red reward. Glad you didn't miss it! My little monkey would love to have a pretty peacock feather.
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda, when I was a little girl I would visit my grandpa's farm in Georgia and he had a couple of peacocks strutting around the yard. They were so beautiful and I have loved them every since. I have never seen peachicks, so thanks for sharing these adorable photos of them.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen peacocks when they are young, so I was thrilled with this post. I hope you are having a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteThe peachicks were sooooo cute! Great post!

Those peacocks are so cute. I have never seen a baby one before.
ReplyDeleteHello Rhonda, I did not know those little cuties were called peachicks. What a fun discovery and how lucky you had your camera. I have learned the haed way to carry my camera everywhere. You did have a moment there with the very unattractive goose. I'm trying to be polite. Yikes! Your flowers are sweet and I know your heart just flipped. BIG smile.
ReplyDeleteHugs...Jeanne
Oops that is 'hard' I hate typos.
ReplyDeleteJeanne, AGAIN
I didn't know they were called peachicks either. The duck/goose creature is quite interesting looking;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! Don't you love the fact that because of blogging you almost always have your camera handy? Those peachicks are so cute! I didn't know that's what they were called either. Thanks for the fun post (and I would have run away from that goose too - those stinkers can take a plug out of you!) Kathy
