Peacocks in my garden

Today, the three peacocks who roam the neighborhood returned to our garden area. I immediately noticed that the males are certainly maturing! Then all of a sudden, there the tail was fanned out, such a pretty sight to see. The thing that I noticed is that the head and neck is a vibrant hue of blues, but the tail feathers have not changed color. They are still a dull grey-brown, but oh so eye-catching when they were fanned. The part that I do not like is when the three-some comes to the front door...see picture! They drink from the water feature, then tend to poop whenever they feel like it. My, they certainly do leave nasty poop piles on the porch areas! Why there? Do they not know that we like clean feet when we come into the house? So, now I must weigh the situation out... beauty in the garden vs. poop on the porch. Time will tell!
