Good question Mowhaugh! I think the point of peacocks is that there is no point
.
"Ours" have lived at our place ten times longer than we have, so I've never really thought what the point of them is - they're just "there".
Practically, they are very beautiful, and are great for waking you up at 3am whenever they hear a distant car. They also leave squidgy poo around everywhere for you to stand in.
I still love them though. The girls are great characters - they sit on the kitchen windowsill and watch us cooking
And as for the boys, well, what's not to like?
