Spread your tail feathers! Hell, yea. The peacock is a sort of pheasant. Despite the easily identifiable differences in its silky suit, what is interesting is that all genders of this species are usually referred to as ‘peacocks’ (hen or rooster, cock or not; what is a cock, anyway?) The Eastern species are the most rainbowy with its many ‘eyes’ in their tails, patterns in green, blue, and turquoise. This is perhaps the most known peacock; it is easy to spot, but it also has a special skill: Its tail can turn into a large fan. The feathers that can grow up to approximately 2.5 m! But as we all know: Never judge someone by its feathers. The beautiful Afropavo has an almost black suit, very elegant. The feathers are shorter than the one above, often with deep green and blue flirting with violet, in metallic shimmering shades. It can also appear amber brown, a bit more like a common pheasant. According to various myths and beliefs, the peacock symbolizes the Sun, eternal life, life and vitality in general. In others it is associated with being careful, warm, with a highly developed understanding and sense for empathy. A goddess of wisdom. Urging desire. It all makes sense. (Like a summer night by the sea, feeling the breeze as well as the bliss of a person you want to come closer.) The word, ‘peacock’, is used in several ways, often for someone expressing beauty, proudness and elegance, sometimes flamboyance (and trying to attract attention) — it is even a constellation of stars. Look up e.g. ‘Pavo’, ‘peafowl’, ‘poloddi’ (Sami), or ‘påfugl’ (Norwegian) to find out more. And you might as well happen to get lost into slang codex related to sex play.
A foamy and elegantly hopped APA with just a careful touch of mango. Lower percentage, which is also smart.
