Hello to all , woke up this morning to six peacocks real close to back slideing glass doors . Once in a while we will get a giant one cruise through property . We have no idea who's property they have wandered off from . The larger ones with real super long feathers are beautiful . Most are blue , I believe those are the males (not sure have never goggled it) .

I know for a fact they are suckers for turkey box calls once years ago turkey hunting in Winchester Tenn a couple came in too my box turkey set up . Of course I would'nt or didnt blast them !

When I lived in Florida, we had peacocks all around. Beautiful birds!

Don’t feed them! They are a PITA! My neighbor has 12 of them and they are constantly over at our house searching for any food. A bunch of free loaders!

You are sooo right, wait until they jump on your cars. A neighbor down the road has around 20 of them pests...

A couple of years ago the wife and I were out for a walk and we stopped by the neighbors for a chat. As we were talking an Ostrich comes running across the desert. Don't ask me where he came from or where he was going, but he was moving along at a good clip.

My granddad used to keep a peacock and one or two females on the farm. We seldom even noticed their calls. My uncle, from out of town, told a good story about how the one that roosted in a tree near the room where he sleeping let out a death curdling scream in the middle of the night.

Yes got ya 10-4 ........................thanks for heads up ! Years ago a fully matured emu come through here , I had a brilliant idea of lassoing "it" around the neck and penning it and selling , glad I didn't I believe it would have tore me up good just like the komodo dragon that I came across and got in my truck before it got "me" . Lots of exotic stuff lose down here in south Fla because owners release , get free in hurricanes etc .

A Komodo dragon? D@mn don't think my dogs would get along with such :eek:, especially my old (13) year old Aussie . . . but a Emu? yikes!

Doesn't some areas around LA have a bunch of peacocks because someone in the 1800's imported them?
