Another attraction at the Arboretum are the peafowl. The Indian peacocks and peahens have lived there ever since their ancestors were introduced from the Indian subcontinent in the 19th century. The leaflet points out that the peacocks are not owned by the Arboretum and as wild animals they may be unpredictable. It's advisable not to feed, chase or try to touch them. Unfortunately, the leaflet doesn't tell what to do if the peacocks start to chase you and your sandwich... :D
Hei ja hyvää sunnuntaita! Täällä ainakin on pilvistä, joten piristetään päivää Harcourt Arboretumin riikinkukoilla. Seuraava postaus (Arboretumin alppiruusuja ja atsaleoja!) tulee olemaan ennätyspitkä. :)
