What is a peryton?

The peryton is a mythological creature seemingly invented by the actual, although fabulous and legendary author, Jorge Luis Borges. Its first mention is in his "Book of Imaginary Beings." While it is true that Borges references a "now lost medieval manuscript," to know Borges is to know that this irreplaceable bit of mythological history is less mystery than a conception of that possible mystery created by the author, Borges, himself. One reading of his most marvelous of all stories, "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" will tell you this blind Argentine Jewish author could imagine anything. As he did, undoubtedly, the blue-green, half-deer, half-falcon, maneater that is the peryton. And, as if this creation and its creator were not magnificent enough, there would be the matter of the creation's shadow. Sans antlers, sans hooves, sans feathers, it reflects, darkly, itself not as its own shape but as a man. Even more darkly, after its first human kill, its shadow transmogrifies to become that of itself.

What does Jorge y yo son ocupados mean in English?

As written, the sentence means: 'Jorge and I busy?' to which the answer(s) would presumably be 'Yes' (Si) or 'No' (no). But I suspect the questioner simply wants to know the meaning of: 'Jorge y yo ocupados' i.e. 'Jorge and I (are) busy'.
