Green Pea Roosting Outside High in a Tree!!! :(

This is just too sad. This is why it is best to try and have peafowl out in the country, and that is one of my ultimate goals in life. This is a feral population of peafowl and as with most feral populations you have the residents who love them and those that hate them and this one woman went... -
