Description
We were driving around exploring South Merritt Island one day. This is an island east of Orlando in Central Florida. We came upon a large flock of wild peafowl. They are not an uncommon sight around here.
This didn't mind over much for me to get up relatively close to them. I thought the feathers and colors of this particular one was especially pretty.
Peafowl are forest birds that nest on the ground, but roost in trees. They are terrestrial feeders. All species of peafowl are believed to be Polygamous. In common with other members of the Galliformes, the males possess metatarsal spurs or "thorns" on their legs used during intraspecific territorial fights with some other members of their kind.
