Figure 6.

Peacock

Type: Large gallinaceous expert

Plumage: Wildly colourful ties. Also distinguished by their long, erectile, iridescent tail feathers, which they spread at every opportunity

Voice: Vain, often screeching, and self conscious

Habitat: Prominently sit in the front row of any meetings at which they are not keynote speakers

Mating habits: Mates who seem dull (but usually are not); their main purpose is not to get in the way of the male's spreading feathers

Migration patterns: Spend enormous amounts of time at grand rounds and local meetings that offer the expert feather-spreading opportunities.
