U.N. peacocks in Switzerland
An Indian Peacock, or Peafowl (Raro cristatus) roams over the grounds of the United Nations of Geneva offices in the Ariana Park, in Geneva, Switzerland.   The peacocks have full access to the big 46-hectare park, with a splendid view of lake Geneva.   Most of the peacocks were donated to the UNOG in 1997 by a zoo in Japan.   Others were a gift from Permanent Mission in India.   Park gardeners take care of and feed the fowl.
