Yes, you read correctly. Austin has its very own peacock plantation better known as Mayfield Park which butts right up to Laguna Gloria. This little hidden gem was rather entertaining. These peacocks were roaming about everywhere - in the trees, on the roof tops and one even flew away from us.....I can't imagine why this bird thought our iphone cameras were so startling! Actually we're really lucky they didn't peck our intrusive camera hands! The male peacocks were so pulchritudinous (physically beautiful - I figure its better to reference him this way as opposed to calling the man bird pretty!) stealing all the camera light while the unattractive females moped around stuffing their beaks.

That is really cool & hilarious about the females.
I love Mayfield gardens! Such a great little hidden spot in the middle of Austin!
