The Peacock's Complaint

I recently stumbled upon this cheesy, yet insightful, cartoon from Aesops Tales that does in fact seem to sum up a lot of what describes a peacock. In this cartoon the peacock complains that it has an unfortunately ugly voice in comparison to "insignificant" birds like the nightingail. The peacock then learns that each animal and more specifically, each bird, has something special about it that makes it unique. Although the peacock's voice can be annoying and a nuisance to some, it has a majestic train of feathers that no other bird can say they have. This brings me back to the first post I posted on this blog where I blogged on a video that discussed the presence of peacock's in Palos Verdes, CA where they were seen as either a giant nuisance or something beautiful to add the to the town's landscape. No matter how "annoying"people may say peacock's are, they are undeniably beautiful birds that have mesmerized many.
