AURex 1,994 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 We also have a flock of wild turkeys who live in the woods behind our home. They roam my property and the neighborhood below us. These photos were taken out our sunroom window. At last count, there were 13 Toms and almost 50 hens. No, we don't eat them. They came with the property and are neighborhood "pets." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 1,994 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Percy is a lonely guy, with no female peacocks, so he hangs out some with the turkeys. He is particularly attracted to Snow White. She's not albino, she is a rare ghost turkey. In the second photo here, one of the Toms is not happy to see a peacock courting Snow White. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDub 11,147 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 FYI, @ShocksMyBrain. I realize you're on mobile and that's probably why you don't see it, but the pic in your sig has been replaced with photobucket's stupid "upgrade to our new extortion plan to enable 3rd party hosting" graphic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AURex 1,994 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Most people don't know much about peacocks. For example, peacocks only have that spectacular tail plumage for a few months each year. They molt in the late summer/early fall and then start growing new plumage in the spring. They lose ALL their feathers over the course of the molt, replacing them with their winter coat. Percy just lost his last long tail feather a few days ago. Here he is without his long tail plumage. He is in the process of losing the shorter eye feathers now -- all the feathers up his back. (As an added bonus, you get to see Daffy in the koi pond in this photo. haha) Edited August 7, 2017 by AURex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped using PB a couple years ago and haven't looked back. I've migrated to Imgur and it's been serviceable. Photobucket effectively erased 6 years of images I've shared online, and I'm one of the lucky ones, as I never used it for business. Really jacked up my presence in the beer thread. I wouldn't have bitched about a small, maybe $10 a month fee, but requiring users to pay $400 and making massive changes to your TOS without sufficient warning in advance is extortion.
