Very patient peacock!
The larger cat looking as if it was missing part of ear.
Where I used to live years ago there was male peacock with his muster used to come wandering through my property. So beautiful.

I find some of the videos like this interesting.
I've been watching some of dancing lemurs and there was one in the list showing interaction between a kangaroo and a lemur.

p.s. I'm glad the displaying live peacock was live. lol

Question

Male peacocks are sure not like Roosters! Roosters attack people...even those who FEED them!

I guess his primary goal is to protect his tail?

Did anyone read the comments? Interesting. Also, a male is called a peacock and a female is a peahen. And the offspring are peachicks. And together they are called peafowl. This is according to:


.


And they can attack humans, etc.

My aunt used to raise them.

I apologize for the comments.... I rarely read them, and typically YouTube removes offensive things quite well.
This post was pretty old...maybe before the new policies?

The version I saw was on another website, so I went to YouTube to get the original.

The comments were pretty "out there" I agree.

I didn't see any animal "abuse" when I viewed it. The bird seemed used to the cats IMO.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I am not a big internet type person, so when I see such behavior by so many I tend to get appalled!

The day seeing a kitten doing just about anything doesn't bring a smile to my face is the day when there's really no hope.
Can't get enough of the little guys/gals Whether its walking upside down under my bed or making me jump in the night thinking a tarantula was on my leg or squeezing into the smallest boxes or bags possible, they kill me.

Our rooster is pretty mild mannered, it is the old hen that is the mean one LOL.. I can go pet Rooie in the evening on the roost, but reach near the old hen and bam she pecks hard..she has always been a stinker.. The nice hen was the one that got trampled when the horse ran into the barn , she recovered quite well after many months, other than losing vision in one eye..and then decided to die all of a sudden out of the blue.

We did have a ornery banty rooster ages ago that chased youngest son until he tripped and fell down, by then I was chasing the little rooster away..
rooster didn't stay around long after that..

people talk about roosters and peacocks on this thread like they're as common as cats and dogs
.
I don't remember if I've ever seen either one live. I guess that's the tradeoff for living in new York.
its great you guys got know so many different kinds of animals
