For the life if me, I can never take photos of birds. It is my frustration!

I have entered two times in the past. On the very first Show Me a Photo Round 1 where I showed the collectible bullion Swans, and another time when I featured my Kookaburra coins. May I remind you that these are inanimate coins. You see, I am a gold & silver stacker.

Guess what? I have for the very first time, pictures of (not one, not two but) THREE BIRDS!!! I am so beside myself. I will show one here.

Ummm... but it isn't flying or anything like that. It was strutting. Does that count?

Anyway, here it is!

I was wondering why its tail is plain and short. I thought peacocks have long, beautiful and regal tail. A peacock without his feathers is like a king without a crown, a tiger without its stripes, a cowboy without his boots.

I research it and so I learned that every year, toward the end of summer, peacocks finish shaking their tail feathers, and their stunning plumage gradually falls off. This shedding process, called molting, is a common part of most birds' lives. _{Source: How stuff works/Birds}

My first REAL bird, as in bird with real feathers except its tail has fallen off 🤪 hahaha! I took these photos in Waimea Falls in North Shore Oahu, Hawaii.
