I spotted this pea hen on a neighbor’s roof. Their house is about eight-hundred feet down the road from our house. We have seen peafowl in the downtown area, but never this far out into our semi-rural area.
I looked at peafowl on the internet and think that this is a female Indian peafowl. She was just standing on the roof in the shade of a couple of eucalyptus trees. Click on the image to enlarge.
Noisy, dirty birds!
I used to go out with a gal who lived in PV, where these things run wild. They were always getting into her yard and garden, making a LOT of racket, and leaving incredibly large poops all over the place.
They’re very pretty to look at, but a pest to live with.
I’ve heard that. Just like Canadian geese. . .nice to look at but, Man, Green crayons everywhere!?!?
