…over Common Peafowl. Seems that Longboat Key, Florida, has way too many of the gorgeous gregarious birds and has to continually cull the flock. And Longboat Key isn’t the only community in the U.S. with a peafowl problem: apparently California and Texas locations have had issues as well. So introducing non-native birds because they are pretty might not be the best idea? Who would’ve thunk it?

No worries, the feral Florida pythons will soon eat the feral Florida peacocks. It’s like that episode of the Simpsons; soon we’ll be up to the Gorillas.
tai haku has a point. those annoyed with said peacocks should capture a burmese python from their yards and feed them with live peacocks.
