Maybe the gov drone isn't 100% sure about the fit & is still deciding, sizing.

The smol mammal on the other hand is in love with the big flamboyant dommy.

Well, galliformes in general are kind of murder beasts. I've had some deluded roosters decide to pick a fight with me and I personally wouldn't want to tango with a full grown tom turkey. Never really dealt with peafowl, but I'd imagine they're about as nasty as their cousins.
