Have you ever tried really hard to impress your crush, only to end up getting ignored? Well, you’re not alone.
A funny video from Zoo Negara showing a peacock trying his best to impress a lady but failing miserably.
In this amusing clip, our peacock hero struts around with his feathers spread out in a dazzling display, hoping to catch the eye of a peahen.
“Bila kau buat effort tapi kena reject”
The text overlay humorously captures the situation: “POV: Bila kau buat effort tapi kena reject,” which translates to “When you make an effort but get rejected.”
He’s giving it his all, like he’s on a birdy version of a dating show.
But the peahen? She couldn’t care less.
The video adds a comical touch with additional text saying “belakang sikit” (“move back a little”) as if the peacock is trying to adjust his position to get her attention.
She’s too busy pecking at the ground, completely ignoring his flashy moves. The poor guy follows her around, feathers wide, looking as desperate as a fan trying to get noticed at a concert.
You can almost hear him thinking, “Look at me, please!”
At first, she has her back turned, not giving him the time of day.
When she finally looks his way while eating, he shuffles eagerly, almost begging, “Do you see me now?”
Just when it seems like she might give him a chance, she hops away, leaving our peacock heartbroken and confused, wondering what went wrong.
Netizens are amused
The comments section on Zoo Negara’s peacock video is full of laughs.
One visitor jokes about seeing the peacock earlier in the day, still trying to impress the peahen, showing the bird’s persistent (and unsuccessful) efforts.
One netizen suggests a white chicken is waiting for its turn to impress the peahen.
