Peacock laying in leaves. Abstract of Percy from Filoli, may he rest in peace.
Filoli, Woodside CA
Throwback image of Percy the Peacock from Filoli gardens. He would hold court on the patio of the cafe and offices of the gardens. His story is legend. He was not a pet, or caged or contained in any manner. He came to Filoli from the area north of the estate, perhaps seeking a mate, and kind of staked his claim. He was never fed or cared for, he was wild and free, and came and went as he pleased. He was often quite eager to pose for pictures. Alas, we lost Percy sometime 2019.
