Ms. Bird found happy and well

Yes, it's "our" Ms. Bird, at her new address, looking lovely.

Curious to know if the white peahen reported in a neighborhood almost two miles from our home is our missing Ms. Bird, we got on our bicycles today and pedaled over there.

We were riding mostly for exercise. I don't think either Bonnie or I expected to find a white peahen, much less Our Miss Bird.

Ms. Bird in the company of a handsome male. Note his absence of long tail. It must not be the mating season.

No sooner did we round the corner where she had been reported than Bonnie chirped "There she is!"

And there she was, in the company of apparently admiring male peacocks. They weren't getting the time of day, if you know what I mean. But she wasn't running away, either.

So our Ms. Bird has found friends among her own species. We miss her but we're happy for her.

We've read on the neighborhood list serve that she is being called "Molly" by some in that neighborhood. I just hope she is being treated like the princess she is.

The genuine Ms. Bird and phony flamingos.
