I LOVE peacocks.

I just don't understand why the ones that run Lokrum Island wouldn't show me their tail feathers.

Bino claimed it was because the ones that form the Lokrum peacock cartel "don't have tail feathers."

Now that is just impossible. What good is a peacock without 'em? It's like having an udderless cow, or an impotent stud horse. Just doesn't make any sense. If such defect peacocks really existed, God would have clearly told Noah to just let them drown with all the other sinners.

But I guess those defect peacocks must have been good swimmers, because I never did see any NBC type action.

After a while, getting rather impatient with my camera out and ready, I figured the tail feathers must be extended only as some sort of defense mechanism. Maybe peacocks only raised them up when they felt threatened, I thought. So I tried to make one feel threatened...


...And got freaked out when he started to come towards me. Have you seen the talons on those things?


N, B, C....(music playing...me waiting...not happening)


I mean, I can see them underneath, waiting to be spread! What the hell!

As a way to pay the peacocks back for their intransigence, I played the ole' "throw a handful of pebbles on the ground to make them think I'm throwing bread crumbs" trick.


Gets 'em every time.

Who's laughing now, rookie bi-otches!
