A sneaky peacock was captured stealing grapes from a fruit store in southwestern China.

The video was filmed in Kunming City in Yunnan Province on September 11.

The magnificent bird, with its vibrant plume, was seemingly cautious, ensuring it went unnoticed before giving in to its grape cravings.

Onlookers watched in surprise, whispering in awe as the peacock nonchalantly enjoyed its fruity snack. The unsuspecting star of the show had its covert feasting session filmed by a student who happened to pass by, sparking a wave of astonishment and amusement from the crowd.

When questioned by curious netizens about the bird's freedom to roam and graze, the filmer clarified that the peacock is a free-ranging inhabitant of their campus, allowing it to relish such spontaneous treats.

On September 11, 2023, in Yunnan, a stunning blue peafowl was caught on video when it stopped in front of a fruit store.

After a moment of surreptitious glancing around to make sure it wasn't spotted, it began to concentrate on enjoying a crate of grapes in front of the fruit store, picking and swallowing them one by one with its beak.

What it didn't know was that all its behavior had been filmed by a passing student, and caused a wave of small exclamations of surprise from the onlookers.

In response to netizens' questions about why the blue peafowl doesn't have to work at the zoo, the filmer replied that it was free-ranging on their campus and thus was able to enjoy this treatment.
