Oh, one does, does one ?  How splendidly spiffing.  

It's a good job we're not picky about spelling on here then, 'cos we'd be forever C&P-ing your work.  :

Awfully sorry KKOB ,but one has forgotten to put an "l" in splendidly, an easy mistake for one to make.

Well, all this chat has been very interesting (if not too academically challenging   .) However nobody has answered my original question as to whether or not is it ok to have those large birds kept in a small cage?

Or indeed; Hyperbole & a half see here: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.co.uk/2010/06/this-is-why-ill-never-be-adult.html

Colloquially known as 'Boll*cks'  From Latin roots 'Hyperbole' 'Hyperbolic-ally' - 'bolic-ally' = 'Boll*cks' ie: 'Talking, Load of'

Nearly there TimJon!
However for an academic you did not read my post in its entirety. I asked for a definition in modern parlance.
Which means you should have substituted 16 and a half inches long for a foot and a half, the latin ped referring to the Roman measure of a foot, which was only 11 inches long.

The answer's the same as it was 5 pages ago, yes. Now, shall we move on to something less interesting? :

KKOB,

I beg to differ old chap, I have not, as yet, seen any attempt to answer my question more my than a comment from Jacqui Harvey that says she believes that peacocks should not be caged. Has nobody an informed opinion?

That is all I now ask.

I have no opinion on the peacocks, and the caging thereof.
