    I know Dove but I have to creep up slowly with some things.  Mind you, 7 years ago he did come home from a long May bank holiday golfing weekend in Kent to find we had a new, bouncy, untrained, undisciplined 2 to 3 yr old Labrador.  Walked in, met the bounce and bark and said "Whose is he?"   "Ours".    Loves him to bits now and it only took a couple of days.

    You could explain how very lucky you are that they like you enough to stay ❤️

    Not sure I can quite see them making big goofy eyes at him.  On the other hand, he does know I love them and used to have a wee collection of ornamental ones indoors and still have 6 rusty Zimbabwean versions outside.....   Real ones will be much more fun.

    Oh yes ...they’ll be much more fun ... they do have very small heads and consequently very small brains and intellects ...  but they don’t know that  ... 🙄 🙃

    They’re not as noisy as peacocks I can
    promise you ... a farm at the other end of the village had peacocks ... we could hear them ... they couldn’t hear our Guinea fowl 🤣

    Our nearest neighbours in Belgium (600m crow flying distance) had 2 peacocks.   The male would get out of their pen and then make a complete racket about getting back in to his hen.  Too stupid to remember he could fly so clearly a close cousin of the stupid pheasants that had the same predicament visiting our garden and being confronted by a dog or cat.
