A little SURPRISE from husband.

The first line is correct, but the last part about the peacock being pied is false. Young peacocks at this age will show white in the chest and a bit of white on the face, but as he gets older he will get greenish blue chest feathers and his face will be less white except for that classic facial marking you see on peacocks. I know this because I got a yearling peacock and he looked like that, but he is just an India blue. Then he quickly got blue spots on the white chest feathers and eventually he turned all blue on the chest.

Here is when he was younger:

This is him older without white:

I wish peafowl was a class in school. It certainly would be a lot better then math for collage readiness, a class that prohibits the use of calculators for all work done.
