Peabody Courts a Chicken

I think Peabody is confused! He strutted around putting on an impressive display, turning around to show both front and back of his beautiful costume. The chicken never looked up from its food, no doubt leaving a very frustrated peacock. I really enjoyed the show myself and saw so many feathers of different colors, blue, black, green, copper, white, red and brown. I might have missed something there too! He would prance around, approaching at times with somewhat of a challenge. All the while, the chicken totally ignored him. But silently I was applauding him, appreciation for his dance welling up in my heart!

Peabody may want to have the prescription on his contact lenses checked.

A nice show by Peabody, a shame he was ignored.

what a fabulous display he sports...and after all, she is an attractive hen....agree there likely is poor judgement at work though...perhaps it is just a rehearsal..

What a shame, all that performance for that disinterested little chick! But surely she should have shown some appreciation for his wonderful colours.

Too funny! And such a very fun shot that does indeed tell the story.
