JOSEPH (and his coat of many colors) and his wife, RACHEL, are happy to eat kale, grapes, soft apple slices, crackers, corn and more from visitors hnds at Winterpast Farm petting zoo in Wake Forest NC.
JOSEPH is growing out his long tail he will use to impress the lady peacocks in a few months during the brief season of peacock love. He displays his beautiful tail feathers more and more lately especially on warm days and in the late afternoon.
Farmer Mary is hoping her new white female (called a peahen) might have some pure white or mixed color babies. Time will tell.
