White Peacock Fans Its Tail and Turns Away on a Cobbled... — Clip Details

Lisbon, Portugal, circa 1971 home movie footage of a white peacock in full display on a cobbled garden path. The bird first faces the camera with its pale tail fanned, then turns side-on and shakes its feathers, ending with its back to the lens and the grey underside of the train showing. A second white tail rises soft and out of focus in the left foreground, with a dark stone doorway, hedges and lawn behind. It is filmed in one steady shot in bright sunshine.

Topics & Keywords

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: Suits requests for 1970s colour amateur footage of an exotic bird display, useful for travel, nature or heritage productions set around Lisbon.
Period detail: There are no dated objects in this frame; the period comes from the reel's Lisbon section, and the cool, high-contrast colour may show early-1970s reversal stock.
Home-movie behavior: A tourist pauses on a garden path to film a white peacock mid-display, keeping the camera running while the bird turns its back on them.
What appears in frame: A white peacock with a fanned tail, a second soft white tail in the foreground, a cobbled path with a stone kerb, a dark stone doorway, hedges and a strip of sunny lawn.
Film character: The film shows visible grain, a cool magenta-violet cast, bright highlights on white feathers against deep shadow and a soft foreground, the texture of projected small-gauge home-movie film.
Edit role: Works as a cutaway or memory beat in a Lisbon travel sequence, or as an animal insert that brings texture and movement to a slower edit.
Historical context: Peafowl roaming grounds open to visitors were the kind of sight a coach-tour visitor filmed between monuments in Lisbon at the time.
Research note: No people, logos or artwork are visible; copyright in the film is separate from any property permissions for the garden site, which is not identified in the frames.
Research search match: Researchers might search for white peacock display vintage footage, 1970s Lisbon home movie or peacock fanning tail archive clip.
Archive pairing path: Pair it first with the Manueline doorway, yellow tram and green double-decker clips from this reel, then other Lisbon footage from circa 1971, then other archival bird display shots.
