A Heavy Burden


I think it would definitely be a heavy burden to carry this plumage around for any length of time.

Oh my goodness, your post title had me worried. Gorgeous bird with some serious plumage going on! Lovely.

Beautiful! What amazes me is how light weight feathers are because they are hollow, but it does look deceiving for sure.

Imagine all the divas out there in Las Vegas and other areas that have those massive head pieces!!! Then one would know what it's like to be a peacock:)

Yes, I agree, heavy, makes one wonder how they can keep it upright and fanned!
