The Jay and the Peacock, and Aesop Fable, is about a Jay who thinks he can fool Peacocks. He noticed one day that feathers often fall off of peacocks. He took those feathers and wrapped them around his own tail. This way, he was able to hang out with the peacocks. However, the peacocks soon discovered what was going on, and pecked at him until he left. When he returned to the other Jays, they had seen him doing this from a distance and told him, "It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds."
I think the message in this fable is important to show just because one may dress up or try to act like someone or something does not automatically mean they will be associated and the same as them. However, I'm not quite sure why the Jay choose peacocks. I think this message could be portrayed in a different way.
