Peacock
Neighbors a couple places down have a peacock they let roam. I was sitting outside, on the porch around sundown, yesterday when that bastard flew from my roof onto my little Dodge Dakota. I was talking to my daughter on the phone while looking for something to throw at him before he crapped on my truck.
I picked up a 2" thick x 3' rope with both ends knotted for a dog toy. Figured it would work like a bola. I swung it over my head, took aim, and let that bad boy fly. Boy, did it have some velocity and weight behind it! But, I missed the damned peacock and a knot smacked right into the driver's side view mirror and took it clean off. Next time, I'll just shoot that bastard.

There is one a few blocks away from here, the people had their house foreclosed on but left the bird in the yard, now the bird is all over the place and neighbors feed it, I know the guy who lives next door to the place, he feels sorry for the bird.

Several years ago, some folks had a phuking herd of Peacocks. They sold their farm to a developer and moved out. Those phukin birds were everywhere, screaming at night.
There were a bunch of white ones in the herd also. Finally some character came out, with the idea of making a bundle on them. Folks wouldn't let him trap them on their property. I think someone finally got tired of the noisy bastards and eliminated most of them. Only a couple left. in the neighborhood, about a half mile from me. Those worthless "pretty" birds irritate hell out of me, around sundown. |

Wife was pissed that I broke the mirror off HER truck, so she called the county animal kops. They tracked down the owners and gave them a warning about their free-range bird.
The owners were not who I thought they were. They have the little bastard penned up, now. |
