Attention bird watchers - what is this guy? There were quite a few of these on the castle grounds and they had their own little haven here. They look like a cross between a dove and a peacock, kinda, because they had these frilly tails they'd fluff up behind them. Not quite a pigeon, but perhaps in the same family. :-)

Update: Christoph tells me these are "Indian peacock doves" or something like that.
