I was sent to this planet to travel, marvel in its wonders, and share unconventional wisdom on social media. Join my followers, currently comprised of two peacocks and a large family of squirrels, to get the early bird discount (100%) on my posts.
One downside of befriending peafowl is that they leave guano everywhere. You don't want them on your furniture. But they are so cute...

This is Gusya. She is a solo peahen. Most hens and peacocks stay in groups. Gusya likes her solitude. She comes to our house for snacks and often stays to rest from the California sun.

Sadly, our Lizardous has passed away. Most likely of old age. He went to nap two days ago and did not wake up.
He was a brave and adventurous lizard. He didn't mind coexisting with us, and came to the house every day or two.
It was a joy to meet him - or her - and he will be remembered.

Unfortunately, this photo was taken on the day we saw the third chick for the last time. The next day, there were only two chicks. We don't know what happened.

This is Lizardous. He is an aspiring hitchhiker. Gotta be careful that he doesn't crawl into backpacks. Lizardous does not have a valid ID to travel, but clearly doesn't mind to be smuggled.

This is our frequent guest. He lost his tail in olde and evidently not so goodly times. He likes kale but doesn't like attention. We haven't come up with a name for him yet. Maybe you can help name him (or her)?

Part of the peafowl's mating ritual is when the peacock turns his rear to the hen and walks backwards to her. This is how the tail looks from the back. The feather stems are thick and white. They are so bright, you can spot a peacock in a tree at night if you look for the white color.

We don't need to talk about peacocks every day, but this morning they found a way into my feed again.
A couple of facts about peacock tails:
1. Males grow tails in their second year of life.
2. Males shed feathers from the tail once a year, and then regrow them. Peafowl's lifespan is about 15 years.

A few little known facts aboit peacocks:
1. They sleep on tall trees. Peacocks can fly quite well, and they usually land on a lower branch and hop from one branch to another until they reach some height.
2. Peacocks choose a few trees they like and rotate them, but like to sleep on the same branch.

Rescued some plants to release into the wild (aka my backyard). Bright colors help peacocks remember which house is theirs.
