SciFi and Fantasy Art George the Peacock by Dave Cripps


	My sister in law hates these birds. So I decided to tempt George over to us with a sandwich. Many ammusing squeals of 'Shoo it away!' were heard. This colourful chap lives in Powys Castle the home of Clive of India. Though I never found his Balti House.....

29 Jun 2009	John R Farley Jr	Loading... Nice close-up, the peac0ck’s blue really shows up here. Dave Cripps replies: "A very vivid blue in that sun. And I also noticed the Peahen has a touch too. We called her Mildred.... (A joke for old British 70’s show lovers there)"
1 Jul 2009	Chris H.	Loading... Spotted one of these walking down the B4088 the other day, must have been on its holls. Maybe reenacting George and Mildred the movie or some such Dave Cripps replies: "Oh but what was the one with the greenhouse and the sherry?"
26 Jul 2009	Shelz Keast	Loading... If she doesn’t like peacrocks how on Earth does she go with geese? Dave Cripps replies: "I think any large bird in search of food makes her a bit nervous "
8 Nov 2009	Jeanette M Thomas	Loading... Wonderful!!! Thanks for recommending that I see your "Other Work" gallery. They’re all great pictures, except maybe "Pilot" ’cause I don’t know the story it refers to. Especially love Zak. Thanks for brightening my day. I envy your seeing all these wonderful places. Thanks for being my vicarious eyes. Dave Cripps replies: "Erm.. Pilot was supposed to land in the other gallery. But it being only a sketch ended up here. "
16 Nov 2009	Tom Draco Noir Taylor	Loading... Ah, George is a lovely specimen of India Blue peafowl. we had 13 at one time, most were picked off by a red fox. But they made for amusing neighborhood stories. Late night hunters heard a plaintive voice in the small graveyard- a woman’s voice calling "Help-Help!" they spread the rumor the place was haunted. Turned out one of our birds had escaped and was perched 4o feet up in a pine tree!Impossible to see when they are in the trees. Dave Cripps replies: "They do have a very strange cry almost like a child in pain. Spooky is not the word when you hear them and for a second you cant place the sound."
