Are these the wing display feathers, or breast feathers?
I found myself in a stuffy museum with boring paintings, and a stuffed peacock, which was far more interesting. The breast feathers have a strange rope-like structure.
I took out my phone to be told "No photographs". Protestations that it was just a dead bird stuffed with dead horse, didn't get me anywhere.

Thanks everyone.
Rik, sorry for the trouble and thanks for the correction. I don't post often and had forgotten the protocol. I checked preview to see that the photos displayed and assumed I had it right. I've removed the img tags. I put spaces after and before the [/url] and [url=, but in preview it added more text to the image. I noticed that the flickr link is still on the side of the images, including the two images you had corrected.
ChrisR & Beatsy they are listed as 'tail feathers' on the ebay listing.

Hi,
wow, more great photos!
Cold is no big problem here, there are several birds the next 20 km around. My chickens would indeed be surprised...
Best wishes
Jens

Jens, I'd have some too if they tolerated the cold better. I'm not sure how well they'd get along with our chickens.
Here are some new photos. -...

Hhmm... Do you see added text on the first two images, the ones that I edited? I'm thinking that perhaps you ended up putting extra space inside the tag pairs instead of just between a closing and the next opening [url= . That will definitely cause problems. The edit that I made, and that I intended to describe, was this:It is a small difference, but that one extra space allows the browser to do a line break if suggested by monitor resolution. Without the space, the word "Peacock" is guaranteed to appear immediately to the right of the image, not moved to the next line.Code: Select all
