The Peacock and the Bald Eagle
Both are proud. The peacock struts, the eagle soars. The peacock is never seen without companions, the eagle is independent. The peacock is ornate the Eagle is simple. So the Bald Eagle would win in a “chicken” fight… but the peacock would win a beauty contest. The Bald Eagle, the strength of America. The peacock, magnificence of India. I could pontificate about the symbolism of each bird and the country and culture they represent, but I’ll leave that to you.
I just wanted to say that I was walking home from the market with my mom the other day, and we spotted a peacock with two peahen friends. They were just walking around in a small garden in our neighborhood. Seeing them put a smile on my face.

Interesting….I had never thought of comparing the two. Where do you live?
