Peacocks In Flight

It's Quite The Sight

You may have been lucky enough to have encountered a peacock or two in your time. Yet few people have seen one take to the air - and many assume that the three species are flightless.
Although the sheer mass of feathers precludes any avian marathon, peacocks can and do take flight, normally to get to their chosen spot for the evening. It may be a roof or a tree, but somewhere safe from most predators.
