I thought you had a dog?
Peacat or Catcock

You need to buy a goose to scare the peacock away, then a swan to scare the goose. Keep going with this logic until you have an Andean Condor
Does it have a collar on?
Sell it on eBay?
Keep it as a pet and call it Chris

Me and my peahen would look slightly less... erm... cool.
Maybe it identifies as a peacock. Don't be so quick to throw about gender stereotypes. It's 2017 FFS!I'd ring Britain's Got Talent, cos if a PeaCOCK has laid an egg then you're on to a winner
Looked at the website - they're more about conservation
Wrong RSPB. You need the Royal Society for the [i]Prevention[/i] of Birds. It’s easy to get the two mixed up.
They’re currently running a Two Birds for the Price of One Stone offer.

Suggestions above are better though 🙂
Yday at 08:30 as I waited at the lights, outside Sunny Brentwood rail station, in the middle of town with loads of cars and people about.... a peacock walked, as bold as brass, right in front of the car.
It was an odd sight.... A mundane but busy urban environment with an exotic looking and quite large creature taking a stroll through the middle of it.
Quickly handed my phone to the lad for him to take a photo but we had to move on before he could take the shot, shame would have been a good pic.
We have (or had, not heard or seen him lately) one on our (housing!) estate, it was kind of surreal having a peacock meander down the street or sit on the roof. I've no problem with him, but then I did live near Warwick castle for a few years. Bunch of whingers on local FB group wanted rid but rspb aren't interested as he not an invasive foreign species & you can't legal just grab him & take him away as that's theft (even if you don't know who the owner is).

Wring it's neck, get it roasted and donate the feathers to a local fly fisher who ties their own flies.

You bloody wring it's neck! I'm too scared to get that close!

Pet suggestions after I've mentioned the dog's fondness for decapitating birds. I ask ya.
I think you've answered your own question there.Pet suggestions after I've mentioned [b]the dog's fondness for decapitating birds[/b]. I ask ya.
How big is your oven? would make a pretty tasty game pie if it won't fit in whole.
So, I went out.. and when I came back, the thing was honking. I go out to the garden...

Thing leaps over the fence from next door where it was having a drink from the bird bath and chases me away 😆
Congratulations. Are you the father?
Have any of you lot advocating the roasting tin, had peacock? I have been informed it's not all that.
Friend of mine moved into an apartment (flat) in a country estate, there was a muster of peacocks in the grounds living quite happily. He had one of those briefly popular Volvo C70 convertibles. Must have been something in the curve of the door but one of the peacocks took a dislike to his reflection in it. Damn bird went wild attacking his car door and dented the hell out of it. He had it repaired and took to putting up wooden sheets, parking against a wall, no matter. Whatever he did the bird dismantled it and set about the car. 😕
Anyway, apparently, it's a bit tough... 😉
Good link km79. I has a plan...
Hang on, what if I crack open an egg to make an omlette and there's, like, a, you know, thing.. inside?
Awe... More than Cute, that’s bloody adorable.
I’m so made up for you both, it’s like you were made for each other..

Candle the egg first, ie hold it up to a lit candle. It won't matter anyway, should be good to eat, if you get them in the fridge, that stops any chance of fertalized eggs developing.
Update! Heard the honking this morning from down the road - went and scooped up the eggs into a bag - one smashed and absolutely reeked rotten, so no omelette for lunch.
AS I was throwing a couple of bricks on the nest to keep her out of it, could see her heading back across the fences. I was shaking 😆

Hid in the kitchen while she checked out the nest in a confused state... then she actually came looking for me!

(yeah yeah, any comments about the skanky patio will be ignored contemptiously).
I think I'm rid at last though.
Weirdest thing, as I drove off to the rugby club a few mins later, I saw the peahen following some poor fella down the road and as I past, this track started on my iPod
Bonkers
