Powis Castle Peacock

Powis Castle Peacock is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps the peacock strutted across marble halls while servants polished brass until the bird's shadow stretched across every wall. Maybe the castle kept a peacock as a guard, its cry cutting through valley fog to warn visitors before any gate opened. Imagine the creature owning the house rather than the house owning the creature, proud enough to answer no one.
