Remember that there are only three kinds of things anyone need ever do. (1) Things we ought to do (2) Things we’ve gotto do (3) Things we like doing. I say this because some people seem to spend so much of their time doing things … Continue reading →

Mind your Ps and Qs

Naramata Centre is a place to inspire people to make a difference in the world. 

We were the first group that arrived in Naramata and we planned it that way.  Soon after, people will start flowing in for the summer.  Ah, peace and quiet. 

Not quite. 

I heard the call of the wild. It’s very haunting and eerie. 

Peacocks!  There are two of them roaming around the streets of the Centre. 

This is the first time I’ve seen Peacocks on the loose.  They are so tamed that they ignored me. 

Other than Peacocks, there were so many Quails as well.  They have a thing on their head bobbing as they scurry away just like Peacocks.  What a nervous little birds. 

Apparently, the call of the wild is a mating call for Peacocks.  Two male Peacocks, tails all fanned out going around and shouting at the top of their lungs “Aaaaahhh, Aaaaahhh, Aaaaahhh,” 

These calls, after a while became noise to me especially when it woke me up early in the morning.  

Where are the females? 

Well, the seniors in the Centre decided to get rid of the female because they don’t want to see any “rag rats” running wild. 

I think that is so cruel for the male Peacocks. 

The male Quails have their females and little ones.  Peacocks are entitled to the same thing. 

Should the dwellers of Naramata keep this up, I could see a new species of Peacocks. 

A new breed:  Quails running around with long tails

Peacock tailed Quail

 or maybe with Peacock’s head with Quails body. 

Quail with Peacock head

Imagine that! 

To the Naramata residents:  Please mind your Ps and Qs.
