Probably they escaped from a zoo or from any other private enclosure.

I heard these two words in the context of the Peacock Island. And yes. Maybe these words describe very well the island. Or maybe not? At least from my perspective the Peacock Island looks a little bit artificial. Well-tended gardens. No weed. And everything looks so perfect and clean. Every flower and every hedge at its place.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the small castle on the Peacock Island just perfectly fits into the idyllic landscape. A peaceful and quiet place unless many people visit the island. As the Peacock Island is also a place for long and beautiful walks, of course, many city-dwellers go to this small island - although the island has an area of only about 67 hectares, a length of 1.5 km and a width of 0.5 km.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-15611-15\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-15611-15-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-15611-15-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"17\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-15611\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-7.jpg\" width=\"1320\" height=\"880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-7.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-7-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-7-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-7-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-7-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-7-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" title=\"peacock-island\" alt=\"Castle on the Peacock Island\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-15611-15-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-15611-15-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"18\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-15611\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-8.jpg\" width=\"1271\" height=\"847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-8.jpg 1271w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-8-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-8-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-8-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-8-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-8-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-8-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-8-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1271px) 100vw, 1271px\" title=\"peacock-island\" alt=\"Garden on the Peacock Island\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-15611-16\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-15611-16-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-15611-16-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"19\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Nevertheless, the Peacock Island is a beautiful place.

I kept aloof from the bird, as I did not want to disturb. \"Where would the bird go next?\", I asked myself.<\/p>\n<p>As it seemed to me, this Indian peafowl was kind of indecisive. In one moment it walked into one direction. And in another moment it moved towards the opposite direction.<\/p>\n<p>I stood apart and took some photographs. Indian peafowls are very photogenic. The Peacock Island is already perfect.

The castle on the island - which was built at the end of the 18th century - and the free-roaming Indian peacocks should provide a romantic place for the king and his beloved in the past. I guess, the Peacock Island had fulfilled all its objectives.<\/p>\n<p>The Peacock Island was also used as a summer residence by the royal family. Summer residence fits perfectly to the island. And a temporal summer haven for a short trip nowadays. Although the island belongs to Berlin, it does not fell like being in a city.<\/p>\n<p>Surrounded by trees and wonderful landscapes, I rather felt like being anywhere in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-15611-41\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-15611-41-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-15611-41-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"46\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-15611\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-19.jpg\" width=\"1336\" height=\"891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-19.jpg 1336w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-19-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-19-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-19-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-19-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-19-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-19-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-19-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-19-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1336px) 100vw, 1336px\" title=\"peacock-island\" alt=\"Forest on the Peacock Island\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-15611-41-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-15611-41-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"47\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-15611\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-20.jpg\" width=\"1336\" height=\"891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-20.jpg 1336w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-20-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-20-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-20-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-20-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-20-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-20-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-20-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Pfaueninsel-20-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1336px) 100vw, 1336px\" title=\"peacock-island\" alt=\"Landscape on the Peacock Island\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-15611-42\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-15611-42-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-15611-42-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"48\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>There are more buildings on the Peacock Island that were instructed to be built by the royal family.
