Have you ever heard a peacock's call? The screeching sound is not what I'd expect to come out of such a majestic bird. The first time I heard its curdling cry I was in elementary school, spending the night at the Philadelphia Zoo on a girl scout field trip. I was tuckered out after a full day of oohing and awwing the animals, huddled in my Rainbow Brite sleeping bag on the lawn. Sweet oblivion had almost claimed my little mind when I was shaken wide awake by what sounded like a sick cat literally mewling "help," over and over again. I did not get much sleep that night and it had nothing to do with the dozens of giggling girls around me.
Although I wouldn't want to live within hearing distance of a pride of peacocks, the experience didn't stop me from being a fan of their elegant stature and vibrant tails. Today I put in ear plugs and kept my eyes peeled for their pretty plumes on Etsy. These peacock feather cuff bracelets strutted forward.

These are so beautiful! I love the color & design of peacock feathers, they are so beautiful on jewelry too.
ReplyDeleteGreat theme for a feature! The last time we were at the Milwaukee Zoo, we kept hearing screaming. It took us a while to figure out that it was the peacocks. You're right that despite that, they're still beautiful. Thanks for linking up with me.
ReplyDeleteLove all the jewel-toned colors related to the peacock! Your story made me giggle because we have a pair of yellow-crowned night herons nesting in a tree above our backyard. They have an extreme, disturbing squawk that sends me straight back into the house...and they aren't nearly as pretty to look at!
ReplyDeleteThose are truly beautiful!
