@HAMSTER GOD It depends, there was one that would wander over to one of my family friends houses (to hang with their chickens). He would walk up to you, wait until you looked at him, and then would spread his feathers at you for a moment before lowering them and strutting off. He would actively try to get your attention to do it too. Some peacocks do show off, though this one did seem quite defensive. The one I knew would almost cluck/chirp (it is kind of hard to describe) and would only raise the tail, not fluff all the rest of his feathers too.
@error 404 they asked "why you hate it" and you responded with "cause it's overused" instead of clarifying that you don't hate it, and that the question is incorrect. You agreed with the question, by answering it the way you did. You hate it BECAUSE it is over used, not that you don't hate it.
The reason why the bird displayed his tail feathers was because he felt threatened by the boy that was acting aggressively in the eyes of the bird. When you know birds and have studied, rescue, rehabilitation and release, and bred them over the last 37 years, you come to know their behavior quite well. Birds communicate with their eyes and their body movements. What you or I may never give a thought to doing, those are often fighting words in bird language. You NEVER want to do things like flapping your arms or bobbing your head, nor do you want to make fast moves that can make a bird feel threatened. And as with ALL animals, you NEVER want to approach a bird from above the head. You must always approach from their foot level, so that they do NOT feel threatened. However, keep in mind that NOT all animals wish to have human and/or stranger interactions. Please be respectful at ALL times and you will have a better experience for the both of you.
@@flowersun7879 So what? Kids need to be taught these things or else someone will teach them the hard way and they'll be upset. Just because it's a kid doesn't mean shit. Parents need to teach their kids this early on.
Several comments about the kids behavior. Birds do bird things, kids do kid things. There is a teachable moment here that the magnificent plumage we see is a peacock's "putting up his dukes". It's a defense movement. The parents could let the child know (provided that they know) that the bird is not to be approached and to look with your eyes. The child is excited but meant no harm. It's certainly a lovely sight to see🦚💗😊
There was a teachable moment there that the parents totally missed. When the kid says he wants to kick it. “No Johnny, that is not nice. He’s so beautiful, look at his feathers, etc”. Any of that would have been appropriate, in my opinion. Not letting him approach the peacock in any way would have been the correct “parent” thing to do.
That’s Exactly what I figured the bird was doing 😂 he’s probably very used to humans and has figured out when they gather and annoy him they’ll go away if he flashes some feather and shimmy lol peacocks let you know when they’re genuinely pissed, he just wanted them to piss off 😆
People aren't really upset at the child not knowing how to act around animals, they're annoyed that the parent doesn't say anything, doesn't ask the child to be kinder or stop stamping his feet at it, doesn't say a thing when he's demanding it to fly or says 'kick it'!
I think the kid actually said "shake it". Had to turn my volume all the way up to hear it, but I think he said shake. Anyway, I agree with you. The kid is clearly very young, yet people act like he's supposed to be some bird whisperer. As if all of us didn't do something similar when we were kids. You should've seen me chasing my cat around the house when I was little hahaha The parent maybe should have told him to keep his distance at bit more, but in the end nothing too bad happened aside from the birb getting stressed. Obviously that should be avoided as much as possible, but people are acting like the boy beat it half to death. I'm honestly way more disgusted by the people saying they hope the kid gets "karma". Imagine wishing something bad to happen to a literal child for acting like a child!
@@goathead5073 Growing a back bone has a lot to do with it. Most parents are afraid to discipline their children, and realize they should have done something about it after their child has already grown up. The mother messed up on this one.
@@ateam388 Oh absolutely! I agree with you on this one 100%, I think the original person I replied to meant that the people criticizing the Mom should grow a backbone.
Jacqueline Tees, yescI have. As a kid in Arizona we took a route home from the grocery store and if we hit it just right we'd see the males spread their feathers. Never got tired of seeing them.
According to Treehugger website they are technically white peacocks. Not albinos. Just reporting their input and yes they are gorgeous. Saw one for the first time in Hawaii!
people in these comments, are bullying kid just because he was enjoying his little innocent world. He didnt hurt the bird, he is just happy to see the peacock as meeting peacocks is not frequent and people are accusing him. Peacock was happy too otherwise he wouldnt shown his wings n he would better run away. I too have witnessed a peacock who was dancing in rain n fully spreading his wings thinking he was alone. When i went close to him, he closed his wings and looked shy. I think this peacock is dancing coz he felt safe n friendly vibes from child.
Really? He felt like dancing. Wow, you really need to read a book or look on internet. The peacock felt threatened! Your statement is ridiculous. Geez, are you in 5th grade?
I hate how everyone just blames the child for... Being a kid? Being curious? Did he try to touch the peacock? No, he didn't. Did he try to hurt him? No, he didn't. Did he try to approach him? Yes, he did, and it scared the peacock, but come on. He didn't run up to him, didn't threaten him deliberately. And you're just calling him a brat for being a curious kid. The boy isn't doing anything illegal or wrong. The peacock is not in the cage, as you can see, he's freely walking around. Yes, it got scared, but most animals get scared when they are approached by a person. Does it mean we have to burn people at stake for frightening a bird, which is naturally easily frightened?
I once went to a petting zoo of sorts that had free roaming peacocks. I has blue hair at the time that was starting to fade to green. They kept following me everywhere like they were trying to figure out if I was one of them.
My boss, had a bunch of Peacocks. They would always display their features to impress the female Peacocks. I always liked watching them do it. When Peacocks, feels threatened they also show their feathers. I could tell by the way he was looking around before he opened them he felt threatened by the child. Luckily the Peacock didn't try to attack the child. They are beautiful but also very territorial of their surroundings.
Guys I looked it up and peacocks do fan out their tails and shake them slightly when threatened, so it is a possibility it felt uncomfortable and not showing off during mating season. The child didn’t seem to be screaming at it or making sudden movements but the bird might still have felt threatened by the body language.
@@vn1944 if the kid would of stepped up normally it probably would of have the same effect since I also walked up to a peacock before (it was a tamed one never approach a wild one) it also spread out it's tail fathers and tried to look big while taking threatening steps forwards
Fun fact: Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent aren't the only places you can find wild peafowl they can also be found in Africa, the Congo peafowl. The smallest of the peafowl
Yes 🥰. I live near the mountains (Western Ghats). The only problem is they destroy my Garden 😑. But now they're trained not to. I feed them regularly too 👍🏼. They are Lord Murugan's animal. So we are always devoted towards Peacock like Crows (Shani's animal) 👍🏼.

Most people aren’t blaming the kid. They’re blaming the parents for not teaching their kid to not startle the peacock. It would be like the parents letting their kid walk up to a rattlesnake because he’s fascinated by it’s rattle.
I never tire of watching this. I tend to put it on every few months along with a video of a white peacock that just awes me in its beauty. God sure knows how to ‘wow’ us.
This reminds me of my time as a volunteer at the local zoo, there were several peacocks including albinos that free roamed but were constantly chased by visitors in some cases people plucking out tail feathers before a volunteer or zookeeper could intervene, there were signs everywhere telling people to leave the peacocks alone including pictures for kids and non english speakers. I was always scared there'd be an attack and the birds would be blamed
Weird. Our local zoo had free roamers too, but we never had any problems with folks chasing them. They were able to fly away when they needed to. Zoo volunteer solidarity~
@@TigStripe ours could fly and liked to hangout on roofs but we also had sections of paths that were covered by trees or had awnings that the peacocks loved walking around under during the hit months
For your Information, the little boy approaching the peacock is why the bird lifted its feathers & shook. It was protecting itself & it was a show of aggression. These are wild birds. They have a hooked claw on the legs and can & do inflict injuries. Keep away from them! Do Not let children get close to them! Our zoo used to have peacocks. But because parents wouldn't stop their children from attacking the poor birds, they got rid of them. The birds had been at our zoo for 70 years with no problems. I liked these beautiful peacocks as long as they were left alone there hadn't been a problem. What a bummer that because people didn't help protect the birds as well as their own children we lost a precious asset to our zoo.
Im pretty sure we all know why the peacock opened it's tail. And that is cause it feels threatened by the people, especially the boy who is slowly walking to get a closer look. If you look closely, after it opened it's tail, you would notice that its trying to scare the people, cause that's how their tails work, its so that every predator that tries to eat them, will get scared cause of it's tail. So basically, they don't open their tails for show, they open it for defense, in hopes that the predator or any threatening being will leave them alone. And keep in mind that a lot of animals, even when they don't bite or hurt, still won't want any human contact cause they fear for the worse. So please, remember to respect the animals and their natural habitat. Yes, some animals have their instincts of trusting humans, but sometimes it's cause of their ancestors of some sort. But it's important to know that a lot of animals don't like human interaction so we should respect that.
Peacocks are pretty birds but sometimes not so smart. One time I went to the zoo and at the entrance seen a peacock attacking its own reflection for one of the cotton candy stands. Walked around the whole zoo which took maybe two hours and on our way out wouldn't you know it he was still attacking his reflection.
kid: does weird dance peacock: what the hell bruh! you wanna see dance,here it goes! kid: continues to do it even more weirder and asks the peacock to fly with it peacock: clearly I have the bigger brain!
Funny how they stretch their feathers like that to appear bigger and scare other animals, but with humans it achieves the opposite effect and we look at them and gather around them. The peacock is probably pretty confused as to why his amazing defense doesn't work.
That's actually not what peacock tails are for, the ones with the big tails and all the beautiful colors are actually the males, and the whole purpose of the display is to attract a mate. With many animals with sexual dimorphism (That's when the males look a lot different from the females), typically the males have various ways to stand out in order to better attract a female of the species. When a peacock fans out his tail, he's saying "Hey baby, forget all those other losers, check me out!"
The easiest way, and less stressful for the peacock, is to just mimic the matting call. Back in the mid 70's this private drive used to open for a few hours on Sundays. They had peacocks in their orange grove, and people would take bread and feed them. One rare time I got to see the females, and I guess it was matting season. I listened carefully, had a week to practice. When we went back I made the matting call, I had a dozen or so peacocks open their tails and start strutting around, and then the rare albino came out strutting. Other people were whining and complaining to me for stealing all of the peacocks from them. Until I said I was trying to get the albino to come out. Some people didn't know about him. The dad next to me asked how I learned to call them, I explained. Then told him it was a lot easier than trying to learn how to call wild turkeys. 🤣🦃 Don't stress the birds out, just use the matting call. It sounds like they are trying to say “elp”. Like help, without the h. High pitched, slightly nasal. Easy peasy. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵☺️✌️☮️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊 🦃
Lady E Me, They are beautiful. That's a male. In Arizona as a kid we'd sometimes pass a house where a peacock lived with its people. The male always seemed to have its tail feathers spread when we drove by. It was too beautiful for words.
@@lupinsredjacket3191 reducing peacock to just a tropical bird. You just insulted both the peacock and the turkey. You think the turkey is ugly that's y u take it out on the peacock.
Omg I remember seeing peacocks last year at the zoo, face to face. They are greedy little bastard, i was feeding them bread and one almost bit my fingers off XD
Peacock is a national bird of India, its feathers were used to write ancient texts and also used as bookmarks. It is believed tht fallen feathers, not taken forcefully, bring good luck when offered to God and Goddess. Peacock dance very elegantly during rainy reason which is also their mating period.
I remember I went to a peacock sanctuary and they shed feathers all over the place.. I remember I took one home, but being 10 years old I lost it :( I'm 20 now, but that was one of the coolest places I've been to in my life! Hopefully I can go again
It's a very common site in Our Rajasthan ...As per our knowledge..That Peacock had felt threaten... So he opened his feathers just to scare them away... Cz with open feather they look much more bigger than usual...
OH MY GOD I CANNOT BELIEVE THESE STUPID PARENTS!!! LETTING A CHILD APPROACH A BIRD WHICH IS NOT IN THE CAGE AND WALKING AROUND, NOT TRAPPED AND HAS SOMEWHERE TO RUN??!! THAT'S INHUMANE! WE SHOULD BEAT THE KID WITH STICKS, HE DARED TO BE A KID!!! WE SHOULD BURN THE PARENTS AT THE STAKE, THEY LET THEIR CHILD BE A CHILD!!! AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE VIDEO, THE KID IS BEATING THE POOR PEACOCK WITH STONES AND RIPPING HIS FEATHERS OUT!!!
It was such an amazing moment I first saw this! I was in Florida and was imitating their "Wee-Ooaaw" call, thinking it was maybe a cat or something NOT a peacock. Then all of a sudden there it is, talking and showing off those colors (these dudes were way smaller than that big guy) I was mesmerized and my Ma was kinda scared and we retreated. Later I did it again and I would talk to him, and he'd respond 😆 and then my Ma just decided I was an animal whisperer or something and just let it happen. Later my family just kinda stood around in amazement andstoos guard in the background as I unknowingly made mating calls at a giant pretty bird 🤣

God really outdone himself when he made the peacock
You know you're f*cked when a predator thinks your defense mechanism is cute.
I don't think it's a defense mechanism
This reminds me of my time as a volunteer at the local zoo, there were several peacocks including albinos that free roamed but were constantly chased by visitors in some cases people plucking out tail feathers before a volunteer or zookeeper could intervene, there were signs everywhere telling people to leave the peacocks alone including pictures for kids and non english speakers. I was always scared there'd be an attack and the birds would be blamed
Weird. Our local zoo had free roamers too, but we never had any problems with folks chasing them. They were able to fly away when they needed to. Zoo volunteer solidarity~
@@TigStripe ours could fly and liked to hangout on roofs but we also had sections of paths that were covered by trees or had awnings that the peacocks loved walking around under during the hit months
Their feathers before they spread look like a fancy robe.
For your Information, the little boy approaching the peacock is why the bird lifted its feathers & shook. It was protecting itself & it was a show of aggression. These are wild birds. They have a hooked claw on the legs and can & do inflict injuries. Keep away from them! Do Not let children get close to them! Our zoo used to have peacocks. But because parents wouldn't stop their children from attacking the poor birds, they got rid of them. The birds had been at our zoo for 70 years with no problems. I liked these beautiful peacocks as long as they were left alone there hadn't been a problem. What a bummer that because people didn't help protect the birds as well as their own children we lost a precious asset to our zoo.
Peacocks are gorgeous, our zoo has a male white peacock that roams free and let me tell you, when he spreads his tail it's BREATHTAKING.
Im pretty sure we all know why the peacock opened it's tail. And that is cause it feels threatened by the people, especially the boy who is slowly walking to get a closer look. If you look closely, after it opened it's tail, you would notice that its trying to scare the people, cause that's how their tails work, its so that every predator that tries to eat them, will get scared cause of it's tail. So basically, they don't open their tails for show, they open it for defense, in hopes that the predator or any threatening being will leave them alone. And keep in mind that a lot of animals, even when they don't bite or hurt, still won't want any human contact cause they fear for the worse. So please, remember to respect the animals and their natural habitat. Yes, some animals have their instincts of trusting humans, but sometimes it's cause of their ancestors of some sort. But it's important to know that a lot of animals don't like human interaction so we should respect that.
Such a beautiful creature.
P.s. not the human kid, but the peacock.
Normally you make the plot twist as a way to twist the plot, but you said "I like water, I mean water not gatorade"
@@unlimon6382 humans are creatures so he is technically correct. But i also see your point.
Perhaps the best designed or grandest bird on Earth? Incredible.
Peacocks are pretty birds but sometimes not so smart. One time I went to the zoo and at the entrance seen a peacock attacking its own reflection for one of the cotton candy stands. Walked around the whole zoo which took maybe two hours and on our way out wouldn't you know it he was still attacking his reflection.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The peacock spreading its tail is the equivalent of T-posing for people
:0
That makes so much sense....
If this peacock joins the Miss Universe..she nailed the best costume.
I don't know if you know this but only the male ones are colorful like that the female peacocks are brown and boring so it is a he
*he.
Peahens don't have big colourful shiny feathers.
That peacock's tail is just amazing.
It’s a lovely display of feathers but goddamn leave the bird alone.
I didn't realize the span of his feathers. Absolutely gorgeous 🦚🦚
kid: does weird dance
peacock: what the hell bruh! you wanna see dance,here it goes!
kid: continues to do it even more weirder and asks the peacock to fly with it
peacock: clearly I have the bigger brain!
Suddenly everyones an expert and a bird being scared is cruelty of the highest degree.
Bet they would of watched it too though -.-
This is the most beautiful bird in the world.
Funny how they stretch their feathers like that to appear bigger and scare other animals, but with humans it achieves the opposite effect and we look at them and gather around them. The peacock is probably pretty confused as to why his amazing defense doesn't work.
Proud as a peacock 🦚 he is such a beauty wants the girls to look at him ❤❤❤ a stunner
That's actually not what peacock tails are for, the ones with the big tails and all the beautiful colors are actually the males, and the whole purpose of the display is to attract a mate. With many animals with sexual dimorphism (That's when the males look a lot different from the females), typically the males have various ways to stand out in order to better attract a female of the species. When a peacock fans out his tail, he's saying "Hey baby, forget all those other losers, check me out!"
The easiest way, and less stressful for the peacock, is to just mimic the matting call.
Back in the mid 70's this private drive used to open for a few hours on Sundays. They had peacocks in their orange grove, and people would take bread and feed them. One rare time I got to see the females, and I guess it was matting season. I listened carefully, had a week to practice. When we went back I made the matting call, I had a dozen or so peacocks open their tails and start strutting around, and then the rare albino came out strutting. Other people were whining and complaining to me for stealing all of the peacocks from them. Until I said I was trying to get the albino to come out. Some people didn't know about him. The dad next to me asked how I learned to call them, I explained. Then told him it was a lot easier than trying to learn how to call wild turkeys. 🤣🦃
Don't stress the birds out, just use the matting call. It sounds like they are trying to say “elp”. Like help, without the h. High pitched, slightly nasal. Easy peasy.
Take care, stay safe, have a nice day.

Peacock : *TA DAAA *
Feast your eyes on all that it is 👀
They may look cool but their sound is😳😳😳😵
He was just showing its drip
Kinda like "oh ok, just this once"
Isn't it a line in Into the Spiderverse?
It does almost feel like he was doing it as a crowd pleaser...but its likely there were too many people and it was scared.
Exactly 😂😂😂😂
Birb: *trying to scare humans*
People: "wowww so pretty"
I hope these beautiful birds never get endangered
Breathtakingly beautiful!! And to think God said, I know every feather on every bird!! Wow!👍♥️🎚
Peacock: opens feathers cuz feeling threatened / to scare away predators
Humans: aww so cute can I pet it
Peacocks are some of the most beautiful birds on planet earth! That was so captivating! Thank you for sharing it💯💯👍🏻👍🏻😉❤️😊
Lady E Me, They are beautiful. That's a male. In Arizona as a kid we'd sometimes pass a house where a peacock lived with its people. The male always seemed to have its tail feathers spread when we drove by. It was too beautiful for words.
I used to be scared of peacock feathers because they looked like eyes to me, but I can see now that they’re very beautiful
The world's most beautiful bird
Peacock: I am NOT a one trick pony...
Kid: starting expectantly...
Peacock: Okay fine! Just this once!
Beautiful bird makes loud and scary sounds.
That's what you call proud as peacock 🦚
As a guy, I wish I was that confident! 😂👏
Gay for sure.
*AH, YES.*
*THE TROPICAL TURKEY.*
There is in fact a tropical turkey, the oscellated turkey. And peacocks are not tropical, they're subtropical.
@@maniacram
I'm aware. It was a joke. 🙃
@@lupinsredjacket3191 reducing peacock to just a tropical bird. You just insulted both the peacock and the turkey. You think the turkey is ugly that's y u take it out on the peacock.
@@maniacram
Uh....ok? 😕
@@lupinsredjacket3191 like I said 😏
That’s absolutely gorgeous,WOW,💕💕
WOW, absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!
Child: "Now fly!"
Peacock: "Am I a joke to you?"
Omg I remember seeing peacocks last year at the zoo, face to face. They are greedy little bastard, i was feeding them bread and one almost bit my fingers off XD
don't feed bread to birds because it has no nutrition and too much salt for them
@@jamesha175 it was plain bread and Zoo keeper said it wad ok.
Peacock is a national bird of India, its feathers were used to write ancient texts and also used as bookmarks. It is believed tht fallen feathers, not taken forcefully, bring good luck when offered to God and Goddess. Peacock dance very elegantly during rainy reason which is also their mating period.
Okey 🙄
I remember I went to a peacock sanctuary and they shed feathers all over the place.. I remember I took one home, but being 10 years old I lost it :( I'm 20 now, but that was one of the coolest places I've been to in my life! Hopefully I can go again
I'm muslim and that sounds pretty cool. I'm guessing the bookmarks were also from fallen feathers?
@@naylisyazwina6836 yes fallen feathers were used for everything, bcos forcefully taken contains blood stains good for nothing
@@ashutosmisraa he was just saying
Sketchers: *lights up*
Peacock: So I started flexing....
Even from the back they are magnificent
It's a very common site in Our Rajasthan ...As per our knowledge..That Peacock had felt threaten... So he opened his feathers just to scare them away... Cz with open feather they look much more bigger than usual...
The bird is a nicer person than the unpleasant child.

Yet did he do what he said he wanted to do?
@@butterflyvlogs944 thanks so much for the link mate I really liked it, so pretty art
Peacocks are NOT nice. Ever.
OH MY GOD I CANNOT BELIEVE THESE STUPID PARENTS!!! LETTING A CHILD APPROACH A BIRD WHICH IS NOT IN THE CAGE AND WALKING AROUND, NOT TRAPPED AND HAS SOMEWHERE TO RUN??!! THAT'S INHUMANE! WE SHOULD BEAT THE KID WITH STICKS, HE DARED TO BE A KID!!! WE SHOULD BURN THE PARENTS AT THE STAKE, THEY LET THEIR CHILD BE A CHILD!!! AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE VIDEO, THE KID IS BEATING THE POOR PEACOCK WITH STONES AND RIPPING HIS FEATHERS OUT!!!
It was such an amazing moment I first saw this! I was in Florida and was imitating their "Wee-Ooaaw" call, thinking it was maybe a cat or something NOT a peacock. Then all of a sudden there it is, talking and showing off those colors (these dudes were way smaller than that big guy) I was mesmerized and my Ma was kinda scared and we retreated. Later I did it again and I would talk to him, and he'd respond 😆 and then my Ma just decided I was an animal whisperer or something and just let it happen. Later my family just kinda stood around in amazement andstoos guard in the background as I unknowingly made mating calls at a giant pretty bird 🤣
That's beautiful!
