let's look over there with mama

So a lot of moths have these big eyespots on their wings as a threat display. It looks like a big scary predator's eyes are staring at you from the dark, you'll back off. Makes sense, right?

Only peacocks also have eyespots, but in their case it's primarily a mating display. So what's up with peahens that they're like "oh yeah, all those big scary predators staring me down is super hot"??

Looking to rehome peafowl

Not mine! A friend of mine, the guy who took Bumblebee/Felix home last year, is needing a place to rehome his peafowl due to a major life circumstance change incoming. He has one mature pair of blues (Ferdinand and Isabelle), and then Felix and likely one of his two yearling girlfriends (Liberty or Bell). He's located in Wisconsin, but we would both be willing to work on transport to pretty much anywhere in the USA to get them placed.

Ferdinand and Isabella

Felix and his ladies

This isn't necessarily an urgent, immediate need, so if you were to, say, need time to build an enclosure, we can work it out. The birds themselves are free to a good home, with the only stipulations being Ferdinand and Isabella must go and stay together. I will be making sure they end up placed somewhere that's set up for them already, preferably where the pairs can stay together.

If you can take them, please send me a message or an e-mail (longfeatherlane at gmail). If you can't, please pass this on so it might find someone that can.

PSA!!!

THIS IS A PEACOCK. A MALE PEAFOWL.

THIS IS A PEAHEN. A FEMALE PEAFOWL.

THE DEFAULT NAME OF THIS SPECIES OF BIRD IS NOT PEACOCK. IT IS PEAFOWL. THIS BIRD IS CALLED A PEAFOWL. IF YOU CALL A FEMALE PEAFOWL A PEACOCK, THAT IS INCORRECT. IT IS A PEAHEN. A FEMALE PEAFOWL.

THIS IS CALLED AN INDIAN PEAFOWL

and NO. The white peafowls AREN'T the females, that's an Indian peafowl with Leucism. This PEAFOWL can be either a PEACOCK or PEAHEN.

YES??? OKAY???

PEACOCK IS A SEX SPECIFIC TERM. PEAFOWL IS THE NAME OF THE BIRD.

I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL IT A FUCKING PEAFOWL.

Saw that video of the chicken raising a peacock that was floating around and thought it was very Gustave-and-Maelle-coded.

He’s so proud of his 9,999-damage-per-hit sister-daughter.
