Yesterday my dad's Aunt had a Birthday Party, she is 90. She lives right behind our property so unfortunately I am one of the youngest on my dad's side so I was getting pretty bored and things started quieting down a little and some of my relatives where interested in talking to me about peafowl so I decided to go get Peep, my hand raised peachick, out of his pen and take him over to show everyone. I wasn't really sure if he would fly off, or what would happen, but Peep is such a good bird so I trusted him to stay near me since he is so used to people. I walked up to the house and immediately someone leaving started talking kind of loudly "What is THAT?" "Is it for food!?" Peep started making noises and wiggling so I got nervous, but when I got up to the side of the house with the circle of chairs I sat in one with Peep and he stood on my lap for a minute taking everything in then he jumped down and stood in front of my dad sitting down and begged for the cake my dad was eating. My dad gave Peep some cake and he ate it up and my dad got annoyed that Peep kept begging for food so my dad said "Go on go bother someone else." Eventually Peep started walking around the circle of chairs and started eating some grass, and he caught a bug. Everyone was so amazed and thought he was so cute. He was a good bird and stayed in the circle and if he left it he left by only a few feet. There was a toddler there but the kid didn't really mess with Peep, he just stared and Peep didn't mess with him so it was good until Peep flapped around and scared my cousin on the blue guitar! Then the toddler got interested in Peep and was going to touch him but luckily his dad took him away. That was the only thing I was worried about. Peep also jumped up on my dad's Aunt! That was funny. Peep then took a dust bath next to the guys playing guitar so we had to move him because he was kicking up a lot of dust. I thought he wouldn't like the guys on the guitar playing and singing, but at one moment he jumped up on a guitar case and started at my cousin playing the blue guitar, which is the exact same color as Peep's neck. Peep then pecked one of the strings and everyone now thinks that Peep loves music and wants to play the guitar. After a while Peep picked a place a foot out of the circle to take a dust bath and he chilled there like a good bird and I was talking to one of my relatives about peafowl.
Here is a picture my mom took from her phone:
Peep let people pet him too, but most people just watched him.
