    My aunt and uncle used to have a couple of males that roamed freely on their property. I remember us as kids running chasing them and trying to mimic them. Posted 10 years ago

      That's funny since returning from Sri Lanka I display like a peafowl to my g/f. I'll refrain from further detail. Posted 10 years ago
