Ok who the fuck is coming up with these size comparisons ?!what the fuck is 6 peacocks like are they adult peacocks? are they male or female? So many variables. Also funny they have actual numbers for size in the article
Someone looking at the site traffic numbers. The internet is so stupid right now.
The article does specify. Six adult male Indian peacocks
As for who came up with it uhhhh... *opens peacock tail as a distraction*
Peacocks are male
Peahens are female
Peafowl is the collective term for both
Oh shit I didn't know that thank you helps with the comparison lol
I love the clarification, thank you!
England is, obviously. It's Americans may measure everything in Freedom Units, but at least we don't measure weight in "stone." When some weirdos measure stuff with rocks, it's not surprising that they measure rocks with birds.
