Dining with Peacocks
Met Clare a friend of mine for lunch yesterday and we had a good laugh. We went to this outdoor
cafe under the shade of some tall pine trees in this amazing garden it was realy nice in the
winter sun. There were these little tame chickens that were wondering around the place and they
were doing there best to catch our attention for some food, making the funniest noises.
So we gave them a few crumbs and salad, that they ate, surprisingly, the waiter told us that they
even eat chicken, but we didn't try that, it tasted too good ;) While we were enjoying a tasty
cheesecake, Kev even you would like it, this male peacock came over and was pecking at the crumbs
and was getting very close to our table, so we dropped some cream on the ground and it looked like
it really enjoyed it. Now feeding cream to a peacock, with all its bright shiny blue and green and turquise
colours and amazing crown, with a fork is something that I never thought
I would be doing, but hey, This Is Africa! Eventually we encouraged it to eat from the plate at the edge of the
table, so there we were me Clare and the Peacock sitting down eating cheescake in the midday sun, man, if only my camera
wasn't broken. Definatly the first thing on the shopping list in OZ. Later
