Peacock Story III

I’ve found a funny looking egg on my rooftop, for those don’t know what I’ve talking about, please read previous post here.

With the help of my office colleagues, we managed to successfully delivered the egg to the aviary dept.

But then the aviary officer told us not so good news.. they don’t know how long the egg has been exposed outside, and it might start to rotten..

Still, they said they will try their best to incubate it. And months has passed…

………………………………..

Few days back, the officer called me to come to their place, after I arrived there, they bring me to back of the office and show me this…..

IT’S A BIRD!!!! IT’S A CHICKEN!!!!, IT’S A WHITE ALBINO PEACHICK !!!!!

I’m sooooooo speechlessss………… and overwhelmed with joy!!

Since we are the one who found it, they gave us the privilege to pick a name for this young Peahen,  and we called her, PEARL.

What a suitable name for her, since she barely escaped death, and from the suffering, comes out something so beautiful and majestic!

So, here where the happy story ends… ( or perhaps.. I will continue when she layed her 1st egg.. who know.. :) )

    She will be placed in the secured environment until she matured enough to roam free and given a marking bracelet on her leg.

    That’s pretty amazing! I never even knew this type of peacock existed.

    From what I know, its a very rare breed, one of it’s feather can cost more than 50 USD
    (Of coz I’m against the plucking thing!)
    And to found it from stranded egg that almost rotten.. it’s amazing! we not even sure it can survived.

    Pearl is so lucky that she could survive. As far as I know the feather of peacock / peahen is glossy blue green black. I’ve never seen a white peacok/peahen. Let’s see how Pearl’s feather would be.
