No joke. It was walking right in the road. Fortunately it ducked and only lost a feather. But my question is, how do you not see a peacock? It was at night, and peacocks are reflective as shit. I honestly don't know how you could miss one, especially if it's right in front of you.

Barely above the waterline.
They eat good! Lot's o of meat, and tasty at that. Tastes just like peacock.:smt110

(nothing tastes like chicken except chicken) Rattlesnake states just like rattlesnake..

Rabbit tastes like rabbit.

And I agree with Crawdad. Their sound is obnoxious!! My neighbors have several.

both beautiful AND delicious...

mom almost had a good score!
Except for the fact that we are friends with the people who own the peacocks...
One of them escaped and was walking around I guess...

WTF do people raise peacocks for?

My godfather has a car business across from the zoo and he would put all the clean cars out just to have all the peacocks come over and crap on 'em!

Are they raised for food or for their feathers or what? How do they taste in relation to bald eagle or whooping crane? I gots ta know...

There's a neighborhood in Clearwater where I used to live that has a whole flock that wanders around. They really aren't all THAT small. I'd say, what, turkey sized?

A peacock turned up in my friend's backyard once. He was going to kill it and make some jerky, but he couldn't find a proper instrument to take it down with. I told him to wrastle the bastard to the ground! :lol:
