An unusual visitor popped in for a pint at Spinnakers Brew Pub on Sunday (June 2) evening, making for a stunning photo op.

A peahen appeared on the patio, and staff of the Victoria establishment promptly provided a beer.

“We have named her Marjory, she loves beer and getting her photograph taken,” Spinnakers said on social media.

Marjory did not advise whether it was the view or the brew that brought her in, but she made herself at home according to staff. With the sun shining, patrons were on the patio all day, and the peahen appeared to wait for guests to clear out.

“Then [she] decided they were taking too long, so very confidently made her way back to her claimed spot,” the post reads. “Don’t worry we called animal control and they said not to feed her and she will move along.”
