<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 374006, member: 5833"]Ya ain't convincing me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Stylized as it is, this one still indicates the mating season plumage, doesn't have the thick down turned nutcracker beak nor those distinctive raised wings, a posture I'm not sure a peacock can even get into. I have seen peacocks roost, walk, fly, display & do their courtship 'dance' (more of a waggle). Once had one come up from behind where I was sitting & nearly snatch a cream filled doughnut out of my hand. The one on the vessel, in its stylized way, looks much more like a cockatoo of my acquaintance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
