Peacocks are the national bird of India, and were once only owned by Indian maharajas, so we have given our peacocks royal names as well. William, as the heir to the throne, is the most noble of the three, with a full, long set of tail feathers that he raises in full display, even though we don’t have any peahens for him to impress.
The Sanctuary is an animal refuge run by Shawn Bishop and Michael Dixon in Matakana, New Zealand. We provide a safe haven for abused and neglected animals, and care for injured or orphaned native birds. A charitable trust has been established for this purpose.
