Those guys are beautiful :)

wow, they are so pretty.

I live in the sticks, so I get rabbits, sometimes a beaver and deer. Nothing like this, lucky you. :thumbsup

Damn, when I used to live out in the country the only thing I would get on my lawn were deer and wild turkeys. Those little fuckers were loud and would gobble at the top of their lungs at 6 AM...

have a shit load of rabbits, snakes, squirrels, lizards, birds (peacocks). no deer or beavers

wait a minute where are the fancy feathers on these 2??

They Make great watchdogs. Anyone comes up the driveway, and they sound the alarm.

shoot one and mount it on the mantle

Be careful because they like to peck at their reflection. If you have a nice shiny car parked in the driveway it will end up looking like it was hit with buckshot :winkwink:

id be so pissed :1orglaugh

yeah they were banging away on the glass sliding doors. car is in the garage... think they split anyway...

The two without feathers are peahens. Females. They make a hell of a racket. Or they're juvenile cocks I guess, since they do have the colored heads.

the hens might be white?

i just know their noise is annoying ;)

but here you can find them just in Zoos anyways

What did they taste like? :)

Those live naturally in the wild in socal and just walk around? Thats crazy! I thought they only lived in the zoo ;)

in the area I live in. yes... were rasied for some reason then the land was donated to a park, which I live next door to...now the birds just live there and wander around

Yeah the hens are usually a more uniform grayish white. Maybe that one on the roof.

I grew up with those all around us.... screaming HEEEELLLPPPP and ripping our roof up with super nails.

Our dog killed a white albino one, thus our neighbor killed our dog - and the war started!

Pretty... but annoying as hell.

Is that an albino one? It's a weird looking thing.

I have a friend in Napa Valley who complains about the noise the local peacocks make, so maybe they're running wild all over California?

They actually taste pretty good.

:)

They are lovely to look at, would'nt want them around all the time because of the noise:winkwink:

i love birds by the pool

cool, I live in tujunga, 91042 and sometimes I see them on peeps front driveways trippy..very cool though!

beautiful :thumbsup

wonder how they taste. there's a few down my street.

looks like the white one moved onto my patio

by the santa anita mall over there? lol pretty sure I know the area. :1orglaugh

it's like feral peacock land over there. if it is where I am thinking of that is.

where exactly in southern California? that's pretty cool.

west of LA, almost to ventura

Pretty to look at but i'd get fed up of the noise rather quick.

Wow, so cool!

Cool :thumbsup

I have a friend who had a similar situation. They are beautiful, but they are loud and annoying. My buddy used to live across the street from a couple that had about 20 of them and they would always come over, shit all over his yard and roof and then stand on the roof and make godawful noises all night. He complained to them several times and they did nothing about it. He told them if it happened again he was shooting them. The birds came over, he shot one and the neighbors tried to sue him.

After the shot they quickly built a pen but the tension between the neighbors was so intense my buddy eventually ended up selling the house and moving because he would find his tires flat and shit on his doorstep and other things. He knew it was them, but he couldn't prove it.

The are fucking noisy stupid birds imo.
