Peacock strutting proud

Magnificent feather display

Leading the pack

Females following him

Another Peacock approaches

Wanting to steal his harem

They square up

A fight is inevitable

They walk in a circle

Eyes on each other

Leaping up in the air

Wings flapping wildly

Claws lashing out

They both land

Facing off again

Walking in a circle

Another leap together

The challenger lands first

He scurries away

Admitting defeat

Territory defended

The peacock struts proud

His harem in tow

Other males watch in envy

He will be challenged again

Eventually he will lose

To a younger stronger male

Nothing lasts forever
