Pierre and Friends

I think Pierre is very handsome, dont you? Did you

know that he is one of the most beautiful birds in the

world. The colours and patterns in his tail feathers when

fanned are spectacular to see.

Pierre is a male peacock, the females do not have the

long tail feathers like his. Pierres tail has twenty main

feathers and many hidden feathers which are much

shorter, to help support his fan shaped tail. He can fl y

strongly for short distances, but usually chooses not to.

His ancestors come from the Indian sub-continent. He is

from the pheasant family and eats seeds, grains and small

reptiles. He can now be found in many countries of the

world and Australia is one of them.

Please join Pierre and his friends in the farmyard and be

a part of their very busy day as they hunt for the missing

twin kookaburras.
