Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Hello Everybody, I have a question. A friend of mine has a peacock problem. He just built a house and has been showing the property. A peacock has chosen to take up residence despite his attempts at detering him, i.e. yelling, water hose, throwing things...etc. This peacock is extremely destructive and very loud. He has ruined every screen and has even broken a window. Go figure, ay? He would have it removed from the property, via The Humane Society, but his neighbor has taken a liking to him. For whatever reason, the peacock has not chosen his house to destroy. Perhaps because he's there a lot more often than my friend. Nonetheless, he's interested in a humane approach to resolving this issue. Any suggestions? Syndee Collison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 If it doesn't have a home, I think the most humane way to remove it would be to have some no kill agency give it a home rather than drive it elswhere. Personally I would love to have such a problem: I know they're noisy but I love those birds. My experience with them is they aren't destructive like that. My guess is that if it pecks at windows and screens, someone used to feed it through a window. I don't think I understand the relationship between the neighbor and the Humane Society though; the Humane Society would come and get it (and then do what with it?) but neighbor thinks the bird is scenic so objects to having it removed? Yet it messes up your friend's property, not the neighbor's? If this is the case who cares what the neighbor thinks? But on the other hand, one good possibility is getting the neighbor who likes the bird to feed it from his window, and your friend continue to badger and shoo it. After a while it will undoubtedly shift its attentions permanently to the neighbor. --Bruce > > > On Behalf Of Syndee Collison > Friday, April 29, 2005 5:11 PM > > Re: Digest Number 1271 > > Hello Everybody, > > I have a question.
