I believe that this peacock who escaped from the Central Park Zoo is my cousin, Cedric of Central Park. We grew up together as pea chicks down here in Coconut Grove, at Villa Woodbine. One morning, after a big wedding, Cedric was nowhere to be found. I asked my caretaker, Bill Hansen what happened to Cedric and he said he believed that Cedric was napping in the back of the limo. Next thing he knew he was in the honeymoon suite at the Plaza Hotel in New York!! Bill thinks that the bridal couple thought that having a peacock on their honeymoon was good luck!!!
Soon there after Cedric moved into the Central Park Zoo by the request of New York's finest...The ASPCA. As soon as he could, Cedric escaped. You'd think the zoo would have caught wind of his plan...his favorite movie was The Great Escape starring Steve McQueen.
As much as Cedric loved the Big Apple, his escape means that he wants to return to the sunny South and Villa Woodbine. He never really was much of a Yankees' fan. Safe travels, Cedric! I really miss you! You are my Prodigal Peacock!!
Hope to see you soon,
Your Long Lost Cousin of Villa Woodbine
