Interesting photoes of a adult male Ceylon jungle fowl allgrooming an adult male Sri Lankian peacock (pavo cristatus singhalensis).

Allogrooming is for removal of annoying ticks that are everywhere in Sri Lanka.

How cute.
If one of my roosters tried to groom a peacock here there would be a fight for days after and my hens would probably squat for them.
