The beautiful Ms. Bird continues to grace us with her presence despite the loss of her beloved Mr. Bird.
Sometimes we hear her honking determinedly, probably trying to "raise" another peacock. She enjoys viewing her reflection in shiny cars or windows.
Otherwise, she seems happy and content. She remains very curious and, yesterday, did not flee as I used a noisy electric trimmer on the bushes. She hung out nearby, as if anxious to see what I was doing. Brave bird.
Our anxiety level continues, of course. We fear she will move along one day; or, perhaps we hope she will find another mate to follow. If she is not seen for a day or two we begin to dread that she has gone. So far, our luck holds.
