Last summer when my dad was here the whole clan went to Mar Vista a little restaurant with an outdoor area and a view of the ocean. So, per my dad's request we went there again tonight. We had a feast fit for two kings, took some great photos, and had a splendid visit.
After we devoured our food we got in the car, but while walking to the car a strange sound was resounding in the distance. My mom stated it was a peacock. Now-let me stop here and say that earlier in the week my mom was telling me that peacocks are native to this area and have the right away on the streets. Of course I took this information with a grain of salt because there's no way a peacock can be just galavanting down the street.
So-we got in the car and my mom said, "Hannah drive toward that tree, there's a peacock in it!" I still wasn't a believer but decided to proceed forward to look into a tree for a peacock-as strange as it may seem.
As I'm driving I do see something moving in the tree, and I can make out an outline of what looks like a turkey. No! There is not a peacock in that tree!!! We get closer and sure enough there is a peacock in the tree. Let me take this time to apologize to my mon for being a doubter.
We continued to drive through the streets of Longboat Key and I spotted another one! This time on a person's roof! Just chillin, looking around, and making the obnoxious sound. Then we look in this house's backyard and spot about 5 in a tree, also making the horrible, bizarre sound. Those home owners must hate their life.
The sound the peacocks make is like a turkey gobble mixed with a cat's meow. No joke.
It was a wonderful experience seeing something so unique out in its element. The only time I had ever seen peacocks was at the zoo. I'm glad I got to see their natural habitat.
I love this!
