baby peafowl

[sejac]

These are interesting I think without being photographic masterpieces.

I have quite a few baby peafowl (Peacocks are the male, peahens female) and one of my pied birds has two babies. One is pure white, the other nearly all white. They have become particularly tame, and present themselves at the door regularly for a feed.

Awww these are lovely Charles. I particularly like the first, and also the first of the family images.

Thanks for sharing these.

I've never seen a baby peafowl before and they look really interesting with their large wing formation, great 'intimate' photos of them all - something which we the hoi polloi don't get to see, thanks for showing us.

I'm sharply focused Charles, no cause for alarm there!

Lacking composure and in need of a good crop perhaps but let's not get into messy details of my personal life.:shy:

It's time for my medication and then I'll be primed for action and ready to zoom off into the wilderness...straight after my afternoon nanny nap

a bit of flash would probably have helped a bit.

Very cute Charles - how many do you have now?

Great photos, and an interesting family portrait.

How many would you need for a Pea Pie?

An adorable young family. I really enjoyed the low down perspective on these.

I agree about the flash Richard, but I was so close to them with the camera that I didn't really want to expose them to the light. Who knows where my flash was anyway!!

Thanks P Plates. They're a dime a dozen around here at the moment.

Thanks Alan. We have close to 20 babies wandering around the place at the moment.

Great photos, and an interesting family portrait.

See Richard's comment!

Thanks Jo. Camera on the ground is as low as I can get, and they were less than 50cm away too!
