[Sca-cooks] Roman peacocks served in feathers?

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

A number of secondary sources claim that the Romans, like later medieval  
kings, served peacocks in their own feathers. Only trouble is, I have yet to 
see  any Roman sources specifically describing a peacock being served this 
way.
 
Has anyone else?
