the escape of the Tarbes peacocks

This morning I dare to talk about an animal. When I was little I called it a Leon because when it screams it’s a bit like “Leon…” You may have recognized it, I’m talking about the peacock. This big bird with blue plumage, which makes the wheel and which one often crosses in the parks. There are some in particular at the Jardin Massey in Tarbes And the problem is that the Tarbes peacocks run away. Passers-by often find them frolicking on the sidewalk rather than within the grounds of the park. So much so that a few days ago, a lady or a gentleman placed on one of the garden gates a small pink post-it note on which it is noted: “Please close the gate, a peacock is escaping, thank you.” Surely a passerby worried to see a bird being run over one day. This post-it, he found himself in a photo, shared on social networks, Facebook in particular. And that provoked a lot of amused reactions, sometimes very lyrical. Example with this user who comments: “Yesterday one paw in the air… staring at the gate… ready to achieve his best sprint… he was just waiting for an oversight to be able to escape… but we participated in lock him in his golden cage… does security take away any form of freedom? You have 2 hours”. End of quote. Another user expounds on the art of fugue in the peacock, a solitary act which concerns the youngest species, badly in their skin… A reference perhaps to our teenagers… And then there are those more pragmatic, more annoyed too: “It’s nonsense… anyway a peacock flies.” So we checked, yes, a peacock flies… even when it’s not called Max. So don’t worry, gate open or closed, the peacocks of the Jardin Massey will always remain free!
