The peacocks are placed on their mark for the establishing shot, however, they are not seen being chased by the actor. In the next scene, Quinn is roasting what is supposedly one of the peacocks. Other animal action consists of a scorpion crawling in Robin's hair. The trainer placed the spider on its mark and retrieved it at completion of the shot.
