Peababys!

So, if the daddy bird is called a peacock, and the mommy bird is called a peahen, then the kiddies must be called peababies, right? I thought so. I spotted these baby peafowl (or whatever you call them) at Big Cat Rescue on Saturday. Everybody else is busy looking at lions and cougars and pumas and binturongs and who knows what else (civets, anyone?), but I'm busy shooting the goofy noisy birds that live there without even being invited. But that's how I get good pictures sometimes, I shoot things that other people don't even see.

No, these two adults aren't headless, they're just busy preening for the camera. They just don't know when to stop...
