Take a Word -Peacock

Here is my entry for Take a Word - Peacock. Peacocks are loud birds with a horribly scary cry.  While visiting homebound members of my church, I got scared out of my wits by a peacock, perched in the top of a tree I was parked under. I didn't see him till he sounded the alarm that a stranger was in the yard. My hair stood straight up on my neck and I visibly shook. So while the image is beautiful, the voice is definitely NOT.

We have several bunches of peacock feathers in our house. My husband uses them in the fishing flies that he ties.

    Isn't it amazing that such a beautiful bird has such a spine tingling and raucous call? I have seen them strutting around the grounds of old English manors taking charge and squawking in that spine tingoing and haunting way.
    Faye, your artpiece is beautiful. I love it.

    This is so beautiful, Faye. It has always amazed me that such a beautiful bird as the peacock, is so wonderful to look upon, but terrifying to hear its' cry~~~

    Olá, amiga!
    Muito lindo seu trabalho!
    Não tenho medo de pavões, aqui só vemos essas aves no zoológico.
    Os pavões albinos são simplesmente lindos.
    Bom fim de semana!

    I have heard the cry of the peacock, and agree it's NOT a soothing sound! My mother used to raise guineas, and their racket is enough to scare away strangers as well. Your art is beautiful, Faye.
