no peacocks!... my aunt raised a couple of them years ago... she was about a mile and a half away as the crow flies, and we could hear those birds loud and clear from our place... the official story is a fox ended up getting  them, but my money is on one of her nearer neighbors…  my dad is rather fond of pheasants though… we had a Lady Amherst cock named Merlin years back, a gift from a friend of the family(caught him in his yard down on Long Island, IIRC)…beautiful bird, but a weasel got him… I would love to get another one, or better yet, a pair, for my dad, but they are so friggin expensive…

That this universe, in all it's infinite wonder, simply is, that it exists at all, is good enough for me. In my eyes, to say that something had to "create" it, to make it what it is, only succeeds to cheapen the experience, to make it less special.
