Stewart also notes that her beloved birds are each unique in their own ways as well. “Every single peacock is different. Some are shyer than others. Some are much bolder,” she details.
“Some are much more prone to ruffling their feathers, fanning their tails,” Stewart adds. “I have a mixture of males and females. And I breed them. They’re all bred in my incubator.”

The coyotes came in broad daylight and devoured him and five others including the magnificent White Boy,” Stewartwrotein the caption, highlighting one of the birds. “Any solutions for getting rid of six large and aggressive coyotes who have expensive tastes when it comes to poultry??”
