One of the white mamas had two "peachicks." While only one managed to survive, it was special...it was a piebald. A piebald is an animal "having irregular patches of two colors." This term is used most commonly with horses, but it can also apply to other creatures, such as cows, dogs, cats and birds.
In this case, the bird is a peafowl, and since the condition is rare, then that makes this bird special.
I just checked on this little peahen, and it seems she is now grown and doing nicely. That was good to hear, because being a peacock at High Rock is not easy. Life there, for fowls, can be a bit high risk.
In the LORD I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
How then can you say to me:
“Flee like a bird to your mountain."
(Psalm 11:1)
