Who needs a watch dog?
Sherri
Who needs a watchdog when you have a watch peacock? They love roofs and being perched on the highest point in your home. They will surely screech for an intruder
Garden overflowing with lush produce?
GiphyAre you trying to grow a vegetable or herb garden for your family? Guess again, peacocks love trying all the local tomatoes. Peacocks also eat small bugs, so no need to add any pesticides, hello organic (only if you have any vegetables left).
No need to drive to the LA ZOO
GiphyYou can catch the peacocks displaying (the act of fanning out their tails for mating) almost all year round. Catch them on the front porch or in the middle of the street, anywhere is a good view. Just watch where you step, peafowl love leaving their droppings (like its hot) all over the sidewalk. You don't want to hate to throw out your shoes.
Moms and babies, how cute!
Peahen wandering around with peachicks
Sherri
During the spring and early summer, you will see peahens walking around with their peachicks, truly a site to see. Hopefully your house was not chosen to lay eggs., peahens lay on their eggs for 28 days. Some residents report crows coming down to eat the eggs if the peahens abandon them creating a huge disgusting mess…
They deserve as much hype as the Palos Verdes peacocks.
GiphyNeighboring town, Palos Verdes Is known for their peacock problems. Somehow San Pedro has managed to be off the radar In Los Angeles for our birds. Let's give our local blue residents the love they deserve, since they won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
