Ali was somewhere near by behind me. I guess I was getting way too close and the bird got angry, started screaming and opened his beautiful tail feathers then it started shaking them and running after us. When I took my eye away from the camera viewer, stood up (I was crouching) and turned to start running&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.I saw Ali several steps in front of me running\u00a0with the chickens and ducks (there was a bunny too haa haa) around us. What was that? He runs with them and leaves ME alone with the angry peakock!! It was so funny!! I hoped someone would have taken a video.<br \/>\nAnd the photo below is the last one I took before the bird started running toward me \ud83d\ude1b \u00a0I&#8217;m surprised about the focus though, it&#8217;s still tack sharp on his eye!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_0815-V1-Peakock-close-up-open-tail.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-303\" title=\"Peakock close up open tail\" src=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_0815-V1-Peakock-close-up-open-tail.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_0847-V1-Donkey-pony-bird.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-307\" title=\"Donkey pony bird\" src=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_0847-V1-Donkey-pony-bird.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_0850-V1-Magnolia-plantation-white-bridge.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-308\" title=\"Magnolia plantation white bridge\" src=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_0850-V1-Magnolia-plantation-white-bridge.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_0896-V1-Magnolia-plantation-red-bridge.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-310\" title=\"Magnolia plantation red bridge\" src=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_0896-V1-Magnolia-plantation-red-bridge.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_0909-V1-Magnolia-plantation-red-bridge-front-view.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-311\" title=\"Magnolia plantation red bridge front view\" src=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_0909-V1-Magnolia-plantation-red-bridge-front-view.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_1038-V1-Magnolia-plantation-snake.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-313\" title=\"Magnolia plantation snake\" src=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_1038-V1-Magnolia-plantation-snake.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_0999-V1-Magnolia-plantation-crocodile.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-312\" title=\"Magnolia plantation crocodile\" src=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_0999-V1-Magnolia-plantation-crocodile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI haven&#8217;t seen this flower before&#8230;..pineapple guava.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_0875-V1-Magnolia-plantation-pineaple-guava.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-309\" title=\"Magnolia plantation pineaple guava\" src=\"http:\/\/claudiasentahbaz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/20120505-_MG_0875-V1-Magnolia-plantation-pineaple-guava.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAli and I smile every time we see these photos.<br \/>\nThis trio was very funny.

There were other animals walking around, peacocks, goats, roosters, chickens, deer, rabbits, turkeys but this trio was always together and it seemed like if they were into something.<br \/>\nSuddenly, Cool would start quacking and running around&#8230;&#8230;and the other two would just follow running and quacking.
