Peacock FAIL

I have a . . . difficult relationship with the neighborhood peafowl. They savage my garden, but I can't bring myself to hurt them. So my only revenge is to belittle them when possible.

Take, for example, this pathetic example of the species:

(click for YouTube clip)

1) He's about 4 months too early (it's late December!)
2) His fan is sparse and tiny
3) He has no rhythm

The peahen clearly agrees with me, as she demonstrates by walking away.

Hah! Foul fowl! I mock, taunt, and ridicule thee!

They will ruin your garden. I could tell you how to get rid of them, but you would not do it. So you decide.

Have you put a netting over your garden, complain to the owners, or call animal control? Those birds are so noisy. I remember seeing one at the zoo. He was on the roof of a giftshop just yelling away. :roll:

I'm thinking with a little Crema de Membrillo. :D
