nobbyathome Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) bit of a strange one this morning i was driving my motorcycle down red street in southfleet kent and i saw 4 birds walking in the road towards me i first thought they were wiered shaped geese but when they scrambled up the bank i could see them very well the first was a white and black the second was smaller and a browny grey colour and the 2 others were there young and both a darker brown grey they looked like peacocks to me but none had the tail but both parents had the peacock crest on there head like a mohecan i wish i had thre time to take a picture of them anyone local to southfleet know about them ? maybee escapees etc?

Walker570 Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Pea henwith some youngsters probably. We have them in our village . They belong to our neighbour but treat the village as their own. Hen birds are dirty creamy colour with a bit of a crown, the others probably youngsters. They are a biggish bird and Cranfield may have the answer if what you saw was not an obvious larger bird.

Bear in mind google doesn't always show the right results but there shouldbe a common theme with the majority... https://www.google.com/search?q=peahen+with+young&tbm=isch&sxsrf=AOaemvILr_iLEkhlTKrvuHcqlfRHgz5AJw%3A1636663064250&source=hp&biw=1567&bih=967&ei=GH-NYc39DMahgQa1h6rQAw&iflsig=ALs-wAMAAAAAYY2NKHVqjKgiL4pePSXY7lBxsfX0Uznc&oq=peahen+with+young&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzoHCCMQ7wMQJzoICAAQsQMQgwE6CAgAEIAEELEDOgUIABCABDoLCAAQgAQQsQMQgwE6BggAEAgQHjoECAAQGFAAWPEgYMAiaABwAHgAgAFsiAGNDJIBBDE1LjKYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZw&sclient=img&ved=0ahUKEwjN6byElZH0AhXGUMAKHbWDCjoQ4dUDCAU&uact=5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
