Greetings, my name is Winston and I live at 2167 South Bayshore Drive in Coconut Grove at Villa Woodbine across from Kennedy Park….if you wish to contact me, you can write me at the above address ……the zip code is 33133….I do not have an e-mail address, but I’m sure you know I love to Tweet.
And I do accept fan mail when I show off like this….how about those fan feathers?
Anyway, I’ve been trying to hold back on this for many months, but it’s time to reveal the truth. I’m sure you all want to know to know how I came up with my name Winston….it actually came from my landlord’s client, Kristal Caron who was married at Villa Woodbine 14 months ago on New Year’s Day. She loved the food, the service and the ambiance…and she loved fine jewelry from Harry Winston…hence the name…..but she loved me most of all (I even was in her wedding as the ring bearer—just kidding). So she named me and thanks to her I’m now a protected species, forever a part of these magnificent catering grounds.
However, if you’re a peacock trying to live at this villa on South Bayshore Drive, it’s not like living on Easy Street. Certainly, as a forager, after the parties are over in the garden I can dine on scraps, but the hours are terrible….sitting way up in Bill’s oak tree until 11 PM when the guests leave. Until then I anxiously await dinner while the party-goers below frolic and dance the night away thirty feet below.
And those cars and delivery vehicles that scoot up and down Bill’s driveway intimidate me, but I can do my own intimidating by sauntering slowly, tempting them to run me over; but of course when 3,000 pounds of road kill makers get too close, I can then scurry away, occasionally losing only a feather or two.
I’m really hoping to find companionship in a peahen soon. Bill is a great matchmaker, but he’s yet to bring me the bird of my dreams……Pray for Me!!!!
Love, Winston
