Queenie is our oldest peahen because I purchased her and King as adults. All of the other peafowl came as littlies. Queenie and I have a rather special relationship although we do disagree on some issues. She is a rather radical feminist whereas I tend to waver. She has successfully negotiated a relationship with her husband, King, whereby he only visits when she says yes. King understands because he can see how hard Queenie is working on training the younger peahens. King’s method of training the young peacocks is to play tag around the house.
I think the reason that Queenie and I get on so well is that we are both contemplative. I love her!

She is very cute. 🙂
I can hardly pick her out from the other peahens now but she is slightly bigger and quieter.
Extremely regal.
Quite the feisty beauty you have there. Peahens are gorgeous–too bad most people are just wowed by the males’ fans and don’t appreciate the beautiful ladies, too. I especially like the delicacy of their crown feathers.
Yes, the females have a much more subtle beauty. They don’t need to show off like the males!
Queenie is so beautiful, and I believe that you know your animals very well
and just what do you girls contemplate?
Oh you know, just little things like the meaning of life!
of course-how could i not know that
She is defintely a Queen.
She’s gorgeous
Love this 🙂 Clever Queenie! That tag around the house sounds familiar….
I think they are trying to chase each other away from the females – it’s hilarious to watch!
I think she is adorable…
I do too!
What a beauty Julie! xo
She was the first to eat bread out of my hand.
aww… leaving for hospital now – procedure – tests etc… may not be on for a bit — just didn’t want you to worry xxoo sending love ~ R
Oh Robyn – good luck – my love and prayers with you. Julie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I’m trying to leave a comment at your website and it is NOT working. I get so frustrated. Hopefully this will reach you!
I am curious about one thing – why do you have peacocks? Is it for their beauty? Is it for eggs? I don’t know the practicality of peacocks. Do you have a farm? I have looked at your website, but as I said, it is very difficult for me to get access! Grr, regarding computers!
Did I ever tell you about a local zoo (near where I live)? It is unique – the animals there are rescue animals and birds. I went there once (to write an article for a local newspaper on the place). I was staggered by the sound of the peacocks! They roam free, those gorgeous birds – there were several. AND THEY WERE SO LOUD! It made me laugh so hard, i.e., it was great! 🙂
Please let me know if you get this! 🙂

We are lucky enough to live on a 100 acre farm so the peacocks roam free and sleep in the trees at night. They are so beautiful – I think that’s why I got them in the first place but you are right about the noise they make – haha!
;-D Yeah, the ones at the zoo made me laugh, too.
Sounds like Queenie has strong opinions and intends to pass them on. Gotta admire her for that!
She is a good example to me of assertiveness!
I swear Julie, you and your menagerie always make me smile. Margie
Me too – every day!
I think Queenie knows she’s a Queen. 🙂
Oh she does!
What a beauty!
Stunning lady … just like you. But I think she has a more beautiful neck than you – love the green and blue … *smile
Sweet 🙂
She’s cute and in control! Love it!
Queenie is beautiful! I never noticed how much color there is in a peahen. Great shots, Julie!

She definitely has regal bearing. Beautiful too!
