As many of you probably know, there is a house on the Katy trail right before you get to the HWY 40 bridge if you are going west where you can usually see Peacocks while riding by. I decided to make a topic out of this for those who do not ride this area often so they will be sure to keep a look out for these cool birds, and also, I have always been curious about why the people that own the Peacocks have so many. Regardless of why they have them, I am glad they do.

I ride the Katy at least once weekly. A few months ago, my friend and I nearly ran over an albino peacock which was sitting smack in the middle of the trail. Apparently it had escaped from the farm, or flown the coop, whichever the case may be. The bird did not move as we passed it, though it did not look injured, just stubbornly stuck to it's little patch of the Katy almost like it was nesting. We warned other riders we came across heading in the peacock's direction to "Watch out for the peacock!" since light filtering through the trees made it difficult to see the poor thing laying there. You can imagine the backward looks we got.

You might mention in what county this is located in because the Katy Trail goes under Hwy 40 in Howard County and there are no houses anywhere near there.

The farm where the peacocks are is very near the Hwy. 40 bridge in St. Charles County. I ride the trail several times a week and love to listen to the peacocks calling to each other.
