“Well Lucy it looks like a beautiful day.”
“It does little one. I’m glad that cold weather is gone for a while.”
“What are you looking at over there?”
“Oh, you know. The usual. Stray pumas, peacocks, squirrels, water buffalos.”
“You would think you could spot one of those.”
“I wish. It would be good to have some excitement.”
“Wait. You mentioned peacocks. Have you seen any of those?”
“No I haven’t. I heard mom talking about one in our driveway.”
“Do you know what they smell like?”
“I hear like chicken.”
“Chicken? What the heck do chickens smell like?”
“Beats me. Maybe like peacocks.”
“You know Lucy. Sometimes I’m sorry I ask a question.”
“Well, you shouldn’t feel that way. I usually give it my best shot.”
“Is there anyone out there that knows what a peacock smells like?”
“Oh, sure. Break the fourth wall. Good luck with that.”
“Someone will know.”
“Why not ask what chicken smells like. Maybe more have smelled chickens than peacocks. Of course, human noses are pretty underdeveloped.”

😂😂😂 I think the dog team would react faster than these beautiful chickens. Do you know that their scream is awful, dear John? The neighbours would be impressed with their awful sounds. If take aside these inconveniences, the idea sounds fabulous, dear John: you would make a schedule of the court visits for dogs & peacocks separately.

Stray peacocks remind me of one morning when I came out to work in my yard and found three peacocks sitting on our roof. I have no idea where they came from, but I don’t imagine they were wild. They stayed up there for a couple of hours. I went to call animal control, and they disappeared while I was on the phone. No drinking was involved. 😊

Lucy, Twiggy… I have no idea what a peacock smells like. For all I know they could smell like day old socks. Sometimes my cat Johnny Depp smells like day old socks.
So, maybe they smell like my Johnny cat.
On another hand, as a vegetarian, I know what peas smell like, but not chicken.
There was turkey around last week, that other people ate. That could smell like chicken.

If a peacock smells like a chicken then a chicken must smell like a peacock. Trust humans to miss simple logical conclusions.
BTW our area is full of peacocks, Ten years back they would sometimes fly into the apartment blocks as well, ten + stories high. But gradually humans have crowded them out. They are still visible in large numbers on many of the golf courses around. They preen and let themselves be photographed, but can’t get close enough to pet them. Or smell them.
