Teamwork Will Grab The Win Every Time

I’m on a date with a woman I met through a dating app. We’re chatting about our favorite exercise activities. She likes to use the rowing machine at the gym. I like to run. Woman: “Oh! Oh! What’s the longest 5k you’ve ever run?” Me: “Uh… 5,000 meters?” Woman: “Haven’t you run more than that?” Me: “I’ve done a few half-marathons. Never a full one, though.” Woman: “So, the longest 5k you’ve…

Hiii! I visited Sri Lanka recently and saw many people peacocks! I tried to take pictures for you, but i pretty much failed😅

They have these signs that i think you might like though:

I love it!! I have one on my back door that reads beware of peacock... I think people think it's a joke, but Bug is in here!

DID YOU KNOW? Sri Lankan peafowl have their own locality name (it's treated as a subspecies by peafowl folks but not recognized as a subspecies... yet), Pavo cristatus singhalensis? They have a different look to them than typical Pavo cristatus. You can actually see it a little in your first pic; the barring is brighter, with paler brown between the black, giving them an almost black and white barring instead of black and brown. They also tend to have bigger white facial skin patches, brighter oranges on their primaries, and a bluer sheen to neck, black wing feathers, and train feathers than normal, often lacking or having a reduced red sheen on fresh feathers. They're really pretty birds! It's very cool you got to see them in person!

Sri Lanka became an island in 1480 when a cyclone destroyed the land bridge, known as Adam's Bridge, that once connected it to mainland India.
