Peacock Opening in Philadelphia Zoo

We have seen peacock opening before. It is a rare occasion and we have to be extremely lucky to see it. On 22nd March 2008, our good friends, Yu and Yudong, took us to the Philadelphia Zoo. We were so amazed to see so many peacocks running around in the zoo and we were lucky enough to see a couple of peacock openings. The opening was so beautiful and many people stopped and watched the whole event.

As you know, the male peacock opening is to attract female peacock. When that male peacock opened up, he tried very hard to dance facing some female peacocks. However, those female peacocks simply ignored it and looked away. They might have seen too many of those, nothing special any more.
