This image brings back fond memories.
Would you believe that some years back, we actually had one of these that nested in a tree right near our front door. Every night it would do its peacock walk - strut, actually - up to the neighbour's house, fly up to the stair rail and pose for a while, then up to the roof where again it proudly posed, before flying up into the tree. The whole exercise took a good 10-15 minutes. He was clearly the neighbourhood boss. Not a dog, not a cat dared approach it. It was impressive to watch. But the morning ritual was much MUCH noisier.
Many thanks for the fun puzzle Arina. Simple to solve but packed full of memories.

Nice puzzle, Arina! A *wild* peacock, Palouday? In our neighborhood, our larger wild animal encounters include deer (way too many--they eat all the foliage), wild black turkeys (messy), possum, raccoon (very loud when they fight at night). Some sitings of cougars and bears, but people get nervous about those... Oh, and vultures. The vultures are beautiful...from a distance.
replyWow! You guys have some exciting animal stories. In suburban West Midlands (UK) the most exciting things we have are a few foxes and a hedgehog! Imagine having bears and cougars in your back yard! Where are you? Canada? Anyway, the image is good for a small puzzle and fun to solve.
