Not just throwing them either, but giving them a bit of a spin, as one does to a javelin when throwing it. I think the tail has to be folded for best results. It is a well-known fact that legionaries did not hurl their peacocks until given the signal.

We are now heading down a new road to confusion. Drunken parrots; hurling peacocks. I'm fascinated to see what happens when we meet up with Hannibal and his elephants !
