Thanks to a farm visitor who took this great photo a few weeks ago at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.
The two mature male peacocks have their tails up on display most days this time of year. Come see if you can count how many “eye” feathers they have. One study indicated that the female peahen is attracted to the male with the fanciest tail. The season of peacock love is coming soon!

Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo has an Amazon Wish List if you want to help Farmer Mary feed all the animals. Timothy hay is currently the most needed item.
If you would like to visit Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo please read “your visit” at www.winterpast.org which fully explains how to schedule your visit, how to not turn down Farmer Mary’s neighbors private road(!), how to park at a pig and lists food to bring to feed the animals.
