It opened for me tonight. They are mostly males just beginning their "tails"
(the display feathers are of course not tail feathers). Sure looks a lot
like places I visited in LiJiang in Yunnan province, China. A bit more
interesting that it includes Black Swans (I saw them in Wuhan in China).

I believe this video is from Jinghong in Yunnan province, China.

I think there's an albino peacock in there too?

The video would not open for me. It was curious to look at the wide range
of languages of people who had posted about this piece, though I could
only read the English ones. It appears he comments to be not a natural
event but a trained group of mostly females. I was in LiJiang in Yunnan
province, China in 2009 and learned a lot about it since. Well known
tourist area. Little would be surprising in what the people would do to
create a display. A white peacock is probably not technically, albino,
just lacking feather colour.
