| Lord Byron at his favorite perch. |
None of the other peacocks who've graced our lives have bothered with bird baths, not even to drink. But Byron loves to stand in this one, gazing out over the Middle River.
He doesn't bathe; rarely seems to drink. Maybe he just likes to cool off his "toes."
He looks so lordly standing there, and — you know — so blue. Does he sense that it's the right color for his plumage to show to advantage?
More importantly, does the peacock understand that the ceramic bowl is not permanently attached to the base and his weight could cause it to tilt and fall off? We try to keep it full of water to help offset his weight on the edge.
