Sweet birdies, anyone? Peacock portrait from Lauenbrueck Animal Park -- Indian blue peafowl (Pavo cristatus)
Hi again,
after the bunch of sweet cats, it is time for a sweet birdie portrait.
Taken in Lauenbrueck Animal Park, Northern Germany, from a distance of
about 3 metres with the 100-300 zoom lens. Layer of sharpness: None :-)
See ya -
Ralf

=======
The Indian peafowl or blue peafowl (Pavo cristatus), a large and brightly coloured bird, is a species of peafowl native to South Asia, but introduced in many other parts of the world. The male, or peacock, is predominantly blue with a fan-like crest of spatula-tipped wire-like feathers and is best known for the long train made up of elongated upper-tail covert feathers which bear colourful eyespots. These stiff feathers are raised into a fan and quivered in a display during courtship.
