Peacock 1: Have you guys seen Zaruma? I’m worried about him.
Peahen 1: Who’s Zaruma?
Peacock 2: You know – that duck that Godfrey loathes.
Peahen 2: Oh, the ugly one?
Peacock 1: Come on – he can’t help his looks.
Peahen 1: Last I saw he was still trying to hang out with the gang.
Peacock 3: Can he fly? Maybe he’s in a tree.
Gang: We’re not supposed to have anything to do with you, Zaruma – go away before Godfrey sees you here.
Zaruma: What if I promise never to poop in the pond again?
Gang: Take it up with Godfrey. Now get lost!
Zaruma: I wish I could be a kid again. It was so much easier.
Peahen 1: I found him! Come on darling, come on Zaruma. Don’t you worry about that big bad gander; we’ll look after you schnookums.

I love watching birds. They have their own little world going on. Ducks and hummingbirds can be nasty to each other. Wait not to each other I mean to their own little group. I hope I said that right.
You said that right, all right and you are right!
Poor Zaruma. I have a few chickens who would understand…

The pecking order is fascinating. So far none of our poultry have physically harmed each other but there are certainly some hurt feelings!
