The peacocks are well into mating season now. Over the last week I have been preoccupied with the happenings and well being of this peahen who decided to nest to the right of our front door. She has laid an egg a day, making it 11 now (the picture is old). She has been staying on the eggs day and night. I do not think they actually eat during this time of nesting, but I have been throwing her crackers and giving her water to ensure her health. She has had another peahen trying to attack her and steal her eggs. She is a tough one, even attacking Peyton, our cat, who wanted to get a closer look. I will continue to update you on her and her eggs.
