#anyway it's so surreal to have a peacock roaming around in the garden behind your office

[marmarparadoxa]

It's been a month since this peacock appeared in the garden behind our university. I don't know where he came from, and I surmised he must have escaped from some house with a courtyard in the vicinity. This garden is also connected to a wood north of the city, but nobody ever heard about wild peacocks in this area. So, me and my colleagues started leaving seeds on a plate and a cup of water outside. The peacock stayed, and my friend gave him the name "Vinicio". Now it's been a month, it has snowed a couple of times, and temperatures are dropping during the night, but Vinicio seems to be doing fine.

As soon as he spots us, he usually starts turning away, but the other day he finally approached us and looked at us with his dinosaur eyes.
