... present for a bird that has everything

[According to the 'handicap principle',  the peacock's display enables
females to assess the quality of a male by showing, among other things, that
he can survive, and produce and erect his elaborate and apparently
unnecessary 'tail', despite the effort required, the encumbrance of the
tail, and the disadvantage of the highly ornate plumage.]

I wish a really nice, and safe, festive season and a pleasantly bird-filled
2005 to all those of the list
