Don't you love their shrill call? Being a little facitious there as their call can get quite annoying. DH and my son could immitate it perfectly. Here it is for those that might not have a peacock in the neighborhood: Peacock.wav
Ours disappeared. We had a wild boar problem for a bit and thought they might have gotten the peacock. One of the neighbors coordinated a hunting party and the wild boar are gone now too. Still have deer, possum and armadillos (I'm currently at war with the latter! They are making a mess of my front yard!) Ah, living in the backwoods is fun...... |
Damn Deb, you live in paradise. Wild Boar, Peacocks, etc. Peacocks can fly. Takes them a while for liftoff, but they are up in the large trees across from me as I type. Occasionally we lose one to a Coyote, but they are quite tough, especially in the Chicago winters. They are noisy for sure, especially during mating season. Maxine chases them out of the yard, Carlo ignores them. if I leave my garage door open, they will walk into it and take a .....well, you know. They also will try to mate with Black cars, and really do a job on the paint. Glad I do not have a black car!
