3/31/2006: Albino peacock
Two different people have pointed me to an albino peacock in the last few weeks - and I don't even think they're the same one. Nonetheless, they're interesting in this albino form and IotD always enjoys the unusual whities although it is not at all racist. Funny to think that under all that fluff is a tiny little pigeon of a bird. See what fashion can do for you? |

That bird's just asking to be Photoshopped.

Back in the early 80's some bright official here in Texas had the idea to dye some white snow geese so they could track their movement and easily see them in a large flock of geese. They chose to spray a bright pink dye on several birds as a test. The pink birds flew with the rest of the flock for a week or so but they were slowly ostracized by the flock and eventually they were totally excluded. Several were actually found dead having been attacked by other geese, litterally pecked to death. The others died from going solo making them easier prey for coyotes and other preditors. And they say humans are the only ones who are xenophobic. |

So, UG's not the only one attacking pinkos?

Those birds have always been beautiful in the past, and this one is even more attractive. Although not as much when compared to the gorgeous 30-pounder in the background. (Go ahead, correct me if I'm wrong)

Beautiful birds!
...too bad the number of "presents" they leave behind is almost as bad a Candian geese. If they get into your neighborhood, they're difficult to get rid of and the result is your street, yard, driveway, and roof being paved over in extreme amounts of bird doo. So nasty. |

Albino peacocks remind me of lace patterns.

And their call sounds like a woman screaming or crying. Not nice at all.
