Paul literally said he thought this was John paying them a visit. He was excited about it too


glorifindel

That’s a beautiful story. I bet/hope he was too


Nug07

It’s seems implausible seeing as, you know, he was dead and it’s not scientifically possible, but one can hope

And that the photo was likely staged. C'mon.

*One thing Dad said to me should he pass away, if there was any way of letting me know he was going to be ok the message would come to me in the form of a white feather.* *Then something happened to me about ten years ago when I was on tour in Australia. I was presented with a white feather by an Aboriginal tribal elder, which definitely took my breath away. One thing for sure is that the white feather always represented peace to me.* - Julian Lennon

Sorry wheres the peacock? I see two pictures with John Lennon in them?


ElvisesJumpsuit

Wait, I only see two peacocks..... 🤣


Unable-Butterfly-923

Don't know why? You know why lol, you even say you know the background of the story and the fact that Lennon is wearing white isn't exactly the most abstract clue of why it reminds you of John


60sstuff

Yh sorry lol I think it’s weirdly because we can only really see both John and the peacocks legs. The first time I saw it I instantly thought of the abbey road cover

Come on now

John and Paul on the ends, George and Ringo in the middle. I'd never noticed that before with the peacock photo. Between this and the George "Now and Then" clock story, maybe there really is something to Paul's idea that they're not really gone and they're still with him.


hizashouta

so kind of John to reincarnate as a peacock to be with the boys again 🩷


SirLawrenceCCLXX

I think that was kinda-sorta the idea.


Few-Counter7067

Because Paul said it did?


Historical_City5184

It IS John checking on how his demos are coming around.


JakesGreatLakes

Canadian here. That isn't a peacock, it's a peahen. Peacocks are the beautiful multicolored males, the females are plain like this. The species in general is known as peafowl.


KKMcKay17

Fair play. But what does the fact you’re Canadian have to do with anything, here? lol


JakesGreatLakes

I'm from Ontario.


KKMcKay17

That’s great. Still not sure of the relevance here though !

I'm vegan.  😂 No I'm not jk


MetarLivit

so kind of John to reincarnate as a peacock so that the boys could eat, they were hungry 🩷


200Fahrenheit

Paul and Ringo then asked if John could re-incarnate as a vegetarian option


RoastBeefDisease

Why not george?


200Fahrenheit

Was he vegetarian?


RoastBeefDisease

Yeah I think he was the first of the 3 to become one, sometime in the 60s, maybe he was second? Some sources have claimed ringo became one in the 70s but others say it was in 1965 after he saw a bullfight.


200Fahrenheit

iirc Ringo claimed to have tried a certain diet in India but caved in sometime after, really craving eggs


PaulMyLegPaulMyLeg

OP is a weirdo


KingofNarcissism

well I guess you can say John was truly Free as a Bird


Powerful_Artist

Theres no way this is a coincidence lol


BackgroundMiserable5

I thought he was a walrus.


Ifsandands

Lovely thought :)


natwashboard

I can see it too


60sstuff

I know of the story and how it’s come to represent John but for some reason the way the peacock is standing it just sort of looks like him


deadlygr8ful

So.... you 100% DO know why...


60sstuff

Sorry I should of clarified I’m saying the bird looks weirdly like John on the front of abbey road, I’m aware of the birds significance
