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.
Just wild? That's cool.
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 :-(
Yeah, I've seen them, haven't seen wild peacocks before.
Yeah just in some park
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.
Keep your eyes peeled for the parrots too!
