A group of peacocks, like those in this linocut, are called 'an ostentation', for obvious reasons. I am making a series on the weird and wonderful terms of venery - the collective nouns for groups of animals (and other things). Some are evocative, some strange and obscure. This is the fourth in a series of such prints.
The word 'Ostentation' is in a rather rococo and ostentatious typeface.

A lonely peacock fakes it ’til he makes it.

The feral peafowl population on the nearby peninsula has grown enough that they're going to start trapping them again:

They were all over the neighborhood I had to drive through to get to one nature reserve a couple of months ago, and I could hear them calling each other while I was hiking:

This is also where I saw one walking along the trail (another amusing case of wildlife using human paths for the intended use)
Turns out, in Nevada County, even the environment is plotting and the pigs are squatting.

Proud as a peacock? These two sure were yesterday.
I was delighted that the male gave us a full display of his feathers. Note, that he displayed his feathers right as I was making chicken noises to the other birds. Should I be offended?
