1. Wondering what that antenna is all about! LOl

   1. This guy visits the house opposite my parents’ and sits on the water tank. We heard the sound of another peacock only to find one on the water of my parents’ house! Unfortunately, we couldn’t get a pic of him.

2. Such a lovely creaure!! No one really expects to see a peacock hanging out but that’s exactly what we have in this case. Any clue where it came from and how long did it hang out? Nice moment!!

   1. David – I answered your question in my response to Savira. But we suspect that the peacocks come from a graveyard at the back of the colony my parents live in. This place is overgrown and we’ve often heard partridge calling. In the last few months, the peacocks have come visiting the colony every morning. They seem to go from one water tank to another.

3. I wonder if he could improve the tv reception! Certainly not something you would see everyday. Have a beautiful weekend. Jacinta

   1. I think he’s challenging the TV to a match to see whose display is better! So nice to have you visit, Jacinta!

4. That is something I have never seen.. on a roof ???lolol

   1. Yes, Jim. I guess he’s just tuning in 😉

5. I’ve always loved peacocks…this one looks like an inquisitive one! Great moment!

   1. He does, doesn’t he, Jess?

6. Very beautiful!!!!!!!!!

   1. It was a great sight to see – and so unexpected too, Nikky!

7. Now that is a cool moment. Not something you see very often. Have a great weekend!

   1. It’s something you see often if you live in my parents’ home – but only in the last few months, Melissa 😉

8. Beautiful picture……such moments really make you pause and appreciate the beauty God has created around us!

   Thanks for sharing this lovely pic and giving us a chance to do that too 🙂

   1. Thanks, Privy. I feel exactly the way you do. God surprises us all the time!

9. Wow! I love peacocks and this is a wonderful photo, Corinne!

   1. Thanks, Martha.

10. Is this in Hyderabad? We used to see a lot of them in Ahmedabad. :-)Elegant.

    1. Janaki, this is in Secunderabad to be more precise. A new phenomenon.

11. Beautiful!

    1. Thank you, Erin.

12. Wow, this is a great photo! How did he get up there?

    1. He flew, Nelieta. Thus busting the myth that peacocks don’t fly! 😉

13. That’s great! Reminds me of the farm where I used to ride horses as a girl. They had a collection of exotic birds, including peacocks. So we’d be out there with our horses, and there were peacocks and strange chickens wandering around among the ponies. Great photo!

    1. Glad it brought back memories, Galen. Now I’m fascinated with what you meant by ‘strange chickens’ 😉

       1. Ha! Well, they looked very exotic to me! Beautiful feathers of many colors, topnots on their heads, feathers on their feet. Oh yes, and there were pheasants and other exotic birds, too.

          1. Oh that sounds like a magical place, Galen. 🙂

14. At the Pittsburgh zoo they let the peacocks have free range. They so fun to see…but I’ve never seen one in the wild!

    1. The beauty is this was in a housing colony my parents live in – absolutely unexpected for us – but a regular feature for them now!

15. OMG — I am so freakin’ JEALOUS!!!!! I want a stray peacock!!!!! Great photo ;-*

    1. I wish I could share ‘mine’ with you, Linda. You’ll just have to come by and visit 😉

16. Those colors are miraculous! 🙂

    My moment this week: http://wardenslog.blogspot.com/2012/05/this-moment-and-easy-way-to-help-dogs.html

    1. They truly are, Shannon. Unfortunately he didn’t display the full beauty of his magnificent tail for us!

17. OMGosh!!! Would you believe I have a similar picture? We were on our way to a friend’s house when we saw a flock(?) of peacocks on a roof, in an ordinary neighborhood?!? It was insane! The picture I have, it shows 4 of them together. LOL!

    1. I would love to see your picture, Sofia. That must have been quite a sight!

18. Wonderful shot, have a friend who has peacocks all around their place, one thing besides beauty is their volume…lol Perfect moment.

    1. Oh yes, the volume, Jan. They were our morning alarm that day!

19. A stray peacock?!?! Now, this is really strange. Where do you think s/he has strayed from? Lovely shot, Corinne and glad to see a moment here after a long time.

    Joy always,
    Susan

    1. I suspect he and his companion strayed in from the unkempt graveyard behind my parents’ housing colony, Susan.

20. Where is this Corinne? Hyderabad? I have seen peacocks in Delhi but this. They are so beautiful aren’t they? Every time I see one I am mesmerized by them and imagine to see one frequenting your house…Lovely shot. Did you take it?

    1. Yes, Hyderabad, Rimly. A great sight to wake up to. Jose and I are fighting over who took the shot – we have four shots and since this one is the best, I’m claiming it 😉

21. Awhhh Corinne, to come across an image like that has to be breathtaking! I can’t even imagine…thank you for sharing this week. I have missed your ‘moments’ ☺

    1. It truly was, Mary. I’m looking forward to posting more ‘moments’ in the weeks ahead.

22. Wow, that is odd! A moment you wouldn’t want to miss! And nice composition as well. Thank goodness for life’s surprising moments.

    1. I was really glad I got this one, Sandra. Yes, don’t these surprises make life so exciting?

23. Dear Corinne,
    What a beautiful creature and a wonderful capture! Thanks for sharing.

    1. Thank you, Andy!

24. cute!! jaipur has a bunch of these birds in buildings early in the mornings. 🙂 A pretty sight.

    1. I didn’t know that, Punam. This is a new sight in Secunderabad. Jaipur is on my list of cities to visit and not just because of the peacocks!

25. Truly fascinating BS! The last time I saw them was inside a zoo 😛

    1. Then you’ll just have to visit here, won’t you, Melissa? 🙂

26. Omg, this is amazing! Love it! 🙂

    1. Glad you did, Sylver. Thanks for dropping by.

27. Surprising corinne, never heard of peacock at your place, lovely and a rare sight!

    1. It’s something new, Janet. I think they come from the graveyard behind!
