| Clever poster seen on Underground (my only peacock photo on file) |
I recently received a mass email
addressed to my neighborhood
'Has anyone lost a peacock?
There is a big one in my garden, and he's not very friendly'
There is a big one in my garden, and he's not very friendly'
Isn't that a hoot?!
Turns out escaped peacocks now are breeding in England
Like other exotic birds such as the black swan from Australia,
the Egyptian goose, and ring-necked parakeet,
peacocks can now be spied going native on our island
{ It is thought
the one in my neighborhood escaped from
the one in my neighborhood escaped from
a local National Trust site }
Happy Weekend, y'all!

They are magnificent looking birds. Bet you love seeing it out there but it may be a problem with going out if it won't leave. :) Sad about Ringnecks. It comes down to people letting their's loose and them breeding, but they must be able to survive there. Some of our states have major problems with the Quaker Parrot from people letting them loose.

What an amazing peacock poster! Glad the 'lost' peacock isn't in your garden! They're very noisy birds and always look so haughty and the males are distinctly proud of their beautiful tails!
They are quite imposing creatures, beautiful though.
Hope it all ends well for the peacock!
That's hysterical. I've heard they are better than a guard dog for alerting you to unwelcome visitors.
This summer while we were in Heidelberg we could not believer our eyes but in the trees along the river were at least a 100 parakeets. I am not sure if I would want peacocks roaming my neighborhood though because they are so noisy. The farm I stayed on last week had one and it kept us up at night.
Oh my word!!! That would be so cool to look out the window and see a peacock!! Scary perhaps...but cool!!
Well there certainly could be worse things on the loose! How pretty! :)
we've had some neighbors that had them. noisy as all get-out!
Oh how I wish we had peacocks on our property! I keep hoping the Mr. will say yes! They are such beautiful feathered creatures... xo HHL
Goodness me I have not heard about this before!
Hi Laura, thank you for popping on over to my blog....What a hoot the peacocks could soon turn ferrell? Up at my beach shack we have wild bush turkeys and they can be so scary!!! I run inside and close the door when I see one coming.
So funny! And I guess we really don't know what their temperamnets are like, do we? And who knows, maybe they're crabby when they're loose and lost. Wild life can go crazy sometimes!
Perhaps it will be alright as long as he/she doesn't find a mate!!!
I like the underground peacock. The idea of having real peacocks at loose I don't know if it is that appealing :-)
We had a pair of peacocks for a long time...Mr. Cutie Pie and Lola..they love peanuts, but they eat flowers..had to make a choice!
and thank you ever so for the follow!
Laura, I hope that you
can capture that rogue
peacock on film ~ how
cool!!!
Love that you had such
a fantastic summer; thanks
for sharing on my blog : )
Enjoy the painting and the
tennis!! I am hoping to tackle
some home decor projects,
but mainly, just savoring my
daughter's senior year of hs.
Love and hugs,

I haven't seen a peacock since I was a kid!
It was the reports of people seeing lions roaming around in the British countryside that got me! :-)
If you are referring to the story a few weeks ago, I believe that just ended up being a house cat :) Not like the panthers in FL!
Oooo, cool!
