King: I have had a stern word with the boys and they have promised not to go over to the neighbours’ house again.
Me:Thanks, King.
Queenie: I have had a meeting with the girls this morning and told them that they must stay here.
Me: Thanks, Queenie.
Prince: Julie, we never go over to the neighbours’ place. It’s just those stupid blue peas that do that.
Princess 1: Yes, be assured, Julie – Princess 2 and I never leave here.
Peacock teen 1: I was just trying to get a bit of privacy with my girlfriend. How was I supposed to know I wasn’t allowed to go over the road?
Peacock teen 2: You’re not talking about Penny I hope.
Peacock teen 1: Yes, isn’t she gorgeous!
Peacock teen 2: Penny is my girlfriend, you idiot.
Peacock teen 1: Oh, sorry, they all look the same!

I love the way you captured them with those backgrounds. they are so beautiful!!!
They’re not great photos but I guess they’re real.
I’m looking and looking at that last photo – what are the white thingies off in the distance? If it were here, I’d think they were beehives. But they’re “there”, so I don’t have a clue!
Hay bales!
Ah, ha! Thanks!
what cute birds, they’re really trying to be good neighbours. ❤
They are doing their very best!
That was good for a chuckle.
Excellent – what beautiful birds they are 🙂
I love them so much but have to re-home some of the males now – oh well – a great guy from up the road rang this morning and wants a few – yay!
Because you are a true star … have I nominated you to “ ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ – http://wp.me/p293Pw-4c9
You are in big trouble hahaha!
trouble is a brewing
Indeed!
lol
Hmmm….something tells me there’s going to be a baby peacock in someone’s future…:-)
Hope so!
Ha Ha Ha caught in the act. Oh the excuses they (we) make!
Those teen peas are rambunctious!
Silly birds. 🙂
Very funny… I like the exchange. 😆
Julie, in California, in Baldwin Park, there are peacocks everywhere. They have naturalized into the neighborhood from the LA County Arboretum. Many years back “Lucky” Baldwin owned the estate there and had many peacocks and parrots, etc. They know no bounds…
Seems that the people living in the locality of the Arboretum either love them or hate them. Those who hate them, can’t do anything about them, because they are protected.
I ask you, “How can you hate a bird that is so lovely as these?
~Lynda
I don’t get the hatred thing either!
Julie, you have quite the sense of humor, I know it helps you in many ways. Gosh I almost remember a conversation like that when I was a teenager. Take care, Bill
Funny Julie ~ and lovely lovely shots! xo
