Larry walked/flew onto Napa Valley College a few years ago. He has sired, if that is the word in the bird world, at least 20 chicks with three females who also wandered onto the campus. We think they came (or were brought) from across the highway, Napa State Hospital.

    Stunning head shot of the peacock. They are such characters especially if you copy their noises. My wife won't walk the zoo with me because I make the peacock noises.
