<p>For the life if me, I can never take photos of birds. It is my frustration!</p>
<p> I have entered two times in the past. On the very first <a href="https://ecency.com/hive-106444/@silversaver888/the-collectible-bullion-swans-2017-2020-show-me-a-photo-round-1"><b>Show Me a Photo Round 1</b></a> where I showed the collectible bullion Swans, and another time when I featured my <a href="https://ecency.com/hive-106444/@silversaver888/spyodima"><b>Kookaburra coins</b></a>. May I remind you that these are inanimate <em>coins</em>. You see, I am a gold & silver stacker.</p>
<p>Guess what? I have for the very first time, pictures of (not one, not two but) <b>THREE BIRDS</b>!!! I am so beside myself. I will show one here.<p>
<p>Ummm... but it isn't flying or anything like that. It was strutting. Does that count?</p>
<p>Anyway, here it is!</p>

<p>I was wondering why its tail is plain and short. I thought peacocks have long, beautiful and regal tail. <em>A peacock without his feathers is like a king without a crown, a tiger without its stripes, a cowboy without his boots.</em></p>
<p>I research it and so I learned that <em>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.</em> <sub>Source: <a href="https://animals.howstuffworks.com/birds/peacock-feathers.htm">How stuff works/Birds</a></sub></p>
