Apparently that idiom has some justification! I was at the San Diego Zoo this past Sunday with my parents and we witnessed some interesting behavior from a peacock. There was a zookeeper trying to make a U-turn in his truck on one of the roads and this peacock was checking out his reflection in the front bumper.
The zookeeper would get out of the truck to chase the bird away but by the time he got back in the truck, the peacock was right back in front of the bumper again!! After watching this poor guy unsuccessfully chase the peacock for a few minutes, another zookeeper came on the scene and helped to get the peacock away from the truck long enough for the driver to make the U-turn.
That bird just couldn't get enough. The zookeepeer finally got his truck turned around and started driving down the road only to have the peacock CHASE the truck down the road! I have NEVER seen a peacock run and that was HILARIOUS!! Get that bird a mirror!
