Not found in built-up areas, but usually out in the open, the peacock is easily recognisable by its tail-feathers, whether those feathers are folded away or on display (see the two photographs above). Have you ever heard their vocalisations during the day? Different peacock vocalisations mean different things. The birds might let out an innocent squawk when entering their habitat to announce their presence or sound a loud alarm to warn others of predators. Peacocks are especially vocal during mating season, and their mating call sounds like a high-pitched hooting.
Want to see one? Well, you haven’t got far to go. For example, just visit Gwydir Castle near Llanwrst.
