The man in the photo is the neighbor who lives behind me and owns the peacocks. He said they will come back home when he calls to them. Apparently this one needed a little extra encouragement.
@hajeka They can be. Especially in the spring, even though they are all males. I like to watch them when they walk through the yard. @photographycrazy Thank you very much.
@pyrrhula Thanks Ferry. @tunia I think he was trying not to spook the bird into going in the other direction. He'd chased the bird around a bit before he got it to this place. He just had to get the bird to go over the fence. @joemuli Thanks @jb030958 They must be young because they still have a lot of brown and white feathers. I've tried to research peacocks on the internet, but apparently am not asking the right questions. I will continue to do so. The colorful feathers are lovely in the sun, what few of them there are. Probably only on this one's head and neck. @kwind Thanks Kim @jamibann I wish I could have captured the guy running and waving his arms with the peacock running in front of him. That would have been more amusing. @pusspup Maybe not, but he apparently has them trained (most of them anyway) to come back home when he calls for them. I wouldn't have figured they would do that. @wakelys From talking with my neighbor, I think this was one of this bird's first foray's into the hood. The neighbor said it usually stayed behind his house. I don't think I've seen it until recently. @grammyn Thank you Katy. I like to see them except when they come onto my porch and leave their droppings. It's like goose droppings and a mess to clean up. @craftymeg Thank you Margaret. @thewatersphotos It would have been hilarious to see the neighbor waving his arms chasing after the peacock and the peacock running from him. @mcsiegle The guy in the house behind me has a number of exotic birds. The peacocks wander through the yard periodically. I will check out that book. Hopefully it will be in the local library or on Libby.
They certainly are a fun bird to photograph when they open up those lovely tails. They must like your yard for some reason since they keep coming back to it! Good shot.
@photographycrazy Thank you very much.
