I haven't been to our local zoo all year, given the virus. Usually I go a few times a year. I miss it. It is infested by free-ranging peacocks. One of my favorite parts of a visit in spring is the peacock drama. The males display their tails, shake and rattle them and scream to each other ... and the females utterly ignore them. I do see chicks sometimes, but no other indications that the peahens even know those flashy loud fellows.
