1. Peacocks are native to the Indian subcontinent. The Romans farmed them for meat but they are not likely to have survived the dark ages in Europe, except maybe the extreme south-east - Peacocks might exist in Constantinople. Here is what is written about the Peacock in a C13th bestiary:
   > Bartholomaeus Anglicus [13th century CE] (De proprietatibus rerum, book 12):
   > The peacock hath an unsteadfast and evil shapen head, as it were the head of a serpent, and with a crest.
   > And he hath a simple pace, and small neck and areared, and a blue breast, and a tail full of eyes distinguished and high with wonder fairness, and he hath foulest feet and rivelled.
   > And he wondereth of the fairness of his feathers, and areareth them up as it were a circle about his head, and then he looketh to his feet, and seeth the foulness of his feet, and
   > like as he were ashamed he letteth his feathers fall suddenly, and all the tail downward, as though he took no heed of the fairness of his feathers. And as one saith, he hath the
   > voice of a fiend, head of a serpent, pace of a thief. For he hath an horrible voice.
