In my neighbourhood there’s a small flock of feral peahens running around. One of them integrated herself into my chicken flock and spends the day with them, protecting them, then flies up into the trees to roost at night.

Pictures please

How do I add pictures? Imgur?

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah but you need an account now since imgur went account only

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Just wild? That's cool.

[–] original2@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah just in some park

Escaped pets mostly but some belong to zoos and are tagged and wander around.

We also have a population of parrots in London that are descended from escaped pets too.

In my hometown of Dunfermline they have (or had) 3 or 4 peacocks living in Pittencrief Park, who regularly wander(ed) up and in the town high street.

Not sure if they're still there though, as they kept getting hit by cars :-(

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I've seen them, haven't seen wild peacocks before.

Before I left Austin, I would shop at the Nuclear War Now shop often. The folks across from the warehouse had a ton of peacocks, and the first time I saw them it caught me entirely off guard.

There's one that seems to basically live in a pub car park near us. It keeps its distance from people most of the time, but there's always a hairy moment when it's in between you and the entrance and you're never quite sure if today's the day it decides to get brazen.
