“Ahhhhh whhaaaaahh whahhh whhhhaaaa! There he goes again, flaunting that obnoxious white plumage of his!”
“Cockalorum! He makes me sick!”
“Just look at that peahen turning herself inside out, trying to get his attention. Someone should ban him from the barnyard!”
“He’s a mutant you know. His kind are all show! I don’t think he has one peachick to his name. He just uses our peahens. Scoundrel!!!”
“You’re right. We just need to be patient.”
“Wait! Is she looking our way?!”
“She is! It’s strut-time! Good luck buddy.”
“Ahhhhh whhaaaaahh whahhh whhhhaaaa! May the best peacock win!”

Peacocks make such an obnoxious noise early in the morning. Some of them should definitely be banned from the yard of a bed and breakfast – which is where I first encountered the squawking.
I enjoyed this take on the prompt.

I love that the other peacocks are making snide remarks about the white one, but then they too try to get the peahen’s attention.
