Peacock takes the limelight from the raptors



At the zoo in Aldergrove, the peacock strays into the area where hawks and falcons are about to put on a show.

From a human perspective, the peacock has acquired a reputation for incorrigible vanity.

"Forget about the raptor show," this one seemed to say. "Look at me."

When the trainers of the birds of prey tried to shoo him off, he lay down and stretched himself out at full length.

"Make me."

With that he began to preen his lovely turquoise neck.
