Something Unusual in My Driveway...

Unfortunatley, it's not a new Ferrari or Lambo...

A fookin Peacock showed up early this evening! Some of th ol'Broads my CEO chases the ball with, had reported
seeing a "large bird" wandering around on the road and yards down our Mtn toward the Club. They couldn't id it;
said it was turkey sized, but not a turkey.

I think this is an "India Peafowl", and probably a female or immature male.
It wandered down our driveway, let me get quite close for pics, and may have bonded with me,

...it's hanging
around this eve. I suspect our gang of coyotes will find this poor fowl sooner or later.

Must be someone's pet or escaped from a zoo or...

Pretty damn weird.
Cloudy, darkish, evening and just so-so pics, but thanks for looking!

Set a trap for it, Dave! Save it from Wil E. & pals!

You are one observant dude. I admire that

hopefully it can escape your coyotes...maybe call animal control and see if they can come get it.

Looks like it has good taste in cars....walked right past the fridge and towards the x and vette!

That looks like a peahen(female peacock) of Indian Peafowl.
She is wandering around looking for her peacock.

And the male opens the colorful display feathers when it wants to seduce the peahen.

Nice catch, MD.

Pic of male.
