Have YOU met this very handsome peacock at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC?? Farmer Mary bought him as an egg about six years ago. She put the egg
under a broody hen and three years later he grew his first long tail! The males use their tail to flirt with the peahen ladies.
In the Fall each year they naturally molt their long feathers which Farmer Mary sells to help her continue to care for and feed all of the birds living at Winterpast Farm.
The peacocks will eat right out of your hand and maybe you will be here when one of the makes displays his tail like this! They especially like plain cheerios, raisins, small
, blueberries
romaine
and kale and soft bits of
and watermelon
.
Winterpast Farm will be OPEN WEDNESDAY for visits from 10-5.
Please read the entire “Your Visit” section at www.winterpast.org to learn how you can schedule a farm visit, our admission price and a list of food you can bring to feed the animals.
The Farmers Daughter will be taking farm visitors on tours of the emu nest in the far back forest at exactly 12&2 on posted open days (2&4 Sundays).
Fresh emu eggs are for sale right now. Great gift for your foodie friends! $25 helps Farmer Mary continue to care for and feed all of the animals now living at Winterpast Farm.
