Incidentally I have a Paignton/peacock story to share... When my daughter was 18 months old we visited Paignton and whilst eating our picnic (at the Avian Centre, designated spot) a peacock came to investigate. Being in a family group there was a lot of food on the ground, nothing major but crisps, crusts, a grape or two, nothing deliberate. Anyway, I shooed the bird away at which point my daughter shouted, at full voice, "Daddy is chasing cock, mommy stop daddy chasing the cock!" and she started crying. Needless to say her older sisters found this hilarious, I on the other hand went for a quick walk on my own so no other parents could judge me!
