Peacocks?

[sundial]

In Little Rock, near the zoo, the peacocks would get out and be running around in the busy street outside the zoo. Don't know why they liked it out there better than in the zoo. The zoo seemed unconcerned the one time I asked about it. Karen

My husband was coming home late one night and passed through that area. A peacock flew over the car and he liked to have had a heart attack!

When I lived in Berkeley, there were some neighborhood peacocks and yes, occasionally, they made some big noise. I don't know who fed them, but they were there for years.

Beautiful birds, big noise.

They'll get on your roof and scream and poop.

We had one around here running with a flock of wild turkeys.

Well, I guess he's famous now. One of the neighbors has posted this:

It would be really nice if someone would claim him. I just saw my next door neighbor and she's been feeding him wild bird seed which has evidently caused him to adopt her deck railing as his roost. She loves it but she did mention the poop. I'm glad he's being fed but his limp seems to be worse. It will be interesting to see what ends up happening. In the meantime, he's neat to watch and I'm collecting lots of feathers.
