I was out giving treats to the birds and in the big pen, it's largely a game of seeing if I can get everyone at least some treats, while keeping Polaris from being a bully. This involves tossing a FEW treats to one location so he sees them, and then tossing a LOT of treats in another location where everyone else sees them, and he doesn't notice until they're mostly gone, at which point he comes over and tries to bully everyone off the FEW treats that are left, and he gets so absorbed in getting them that he doesn't notice the MANY treats I toss for the rest of them. It's not that I don't want Polaris to have any treats, it's just that Polaris won't let anyone else have treats.

Now, most of the birds in the pen are younger than him. The two exceptions are his "mom," Aris, who is not biologically his mom, and his half-sister, Corona, who is a year older than him. Everyone else is younger, and they will run when they see him make a lunge pecking toward them or jumping near them to bully them. They don't want a fight.

So I'm watching him successfully scare off Opal, Onyx, Wendy, Little Bit, Lotta Bit, and some of the other babies while unsuccessfully getting treats

And then he nearly makes a fatal mistake

He mistakes Corona for Opal, and lunges at her.

It was like hitting a wall made of etiquette. Literally like watching a mime run into an air wall. This man realized his mistake 0.0001 second before impact and braked so hard he almost went ass over teakettle to keep from touching Corona, which he only managed by a hair. She didn't stop looking for treats, barely even looked askance at him, and this poor fucker started begging for his life beside her, shaking his head and clacking his beak and bowing and apologizing for his very rude behavior that almost resulted in getting his ass thoroughly kicked by the one hen in the entire pen that will absolutely not brook his shenanigans. I've never seen such a contrite cock before.

I wish I had it on film, but alas.

Not mad about this glow up at all.

if the world had protected itself half as much against the spreading of Corona as tumblr apparently protects itself against the spreading of posts via reblogs then summer 2020 would just be a vage memory of some beach vacation

Good to know that baby peafowl also stick a leggie out of the covers when they get too hot at night

An eclectic and highly personal collection of flower pictures is featured in the main bedroom. The chintz corona above the bed makes a pretty frame for a small oval flower picture, while two floral plates on sconces add another dimension above the dressing table.
