Peacocks.

[Falcon]

A neighborhood near me is infested with flocks of peafowl.

They have a love-hate relationship with them. Most hate 'em; they eat garden flowers and defecate on the house
rooftops and screech at all hours of the night.

The latest trick of these STUPID animals is, They are pecking at their reflections on the sides of the parked cars, frequently

the Mercedes, Rolls Royce types and causing extensive damage.

The males are beautiful but not enough to be admired. Like ostriches, their eyeballs are bigger than their brains.

How would YOU like them in YOUR backyard?

I understand that when boiled, they make excellent soup.

I love them ............ from a distance.

They're sweet. This peahen has three chicks.

I HAVE one in my yard and it`s driving me nuts! Pooping on my car,screeching all the time-I hate it. It adopted a flock of wild turkeys(which I also hate) and they all hang out. But at least the turkeys tend to stay down in my donkey`s paddock. At our last house,they nested right under our bedroom window,waking us up every morning at 5am rustling in the bushes. They would roost on the roof of our lattice patio area and broke the lattice all up. Ate all my vegetables that I planted. And pooped everywhere. Yuck.

They would starve to death, or quickly get eaten by coyotes.

 

[Manatee]

They are noisy.

They'd risk being eaten by coyotes here too. We have so many more predators now.

I`m not sure coyotes like them. If they did,I don`t think our guy would be around anymore.
