The Girl and the Rescue Peacock

Maya enjoys assisting at Aunt Priya's rescue centre, and on a rainy day she receives a special assignment: looking after a newly arrived peacock called Rajah. Rajah is striking, with a blue-green neck and a long tail of bronze and gold, but his past is sorrowful. He came from a place where people valued only his feathers and kept him in a small cage, so one wing never healed properly. When Maya sees his bare, cramped enclosure and watches him pace unhappily, she realises that beauty alone is not enough for any animal.

With Aunt Priya, Maya helps construct a proper home for Rajah. She holds the measuring tape, carries planks and wire, and assists in hammering posts for a larger space. She learns why peacocks need perches at different heights, a flat board for resting, a shallow pool, a dust bath, soft straw for sleeping, and a bush for shade. Each day she brings fresh food and water, and steadily Rajah grows stronger. This tale by Ebru Mina TOMURCUK gently shows that caring for animals means providing space, safety, and freedom.
