A Peacock, showed up here some years ago. we named him Pete...
The owner( neighbor Lady) came by one day about a week or so in and claimed him...She said she had two and they don't get along.
He returned about a week later, and stayed with us for several years from then on.... he'd roost in pine
with a branch about 14 feet up ... He survived Hurricane Charley, hunkered down somewhere, but about two weeks later during Hurricane Frances he disappeared. We tried to herd him into the barn, as we were preparing but he'd have none of it !
Never knew what became of him... may have been blown on off , moved on ....
or died..
Never smelt anything fowl though !
