Peacocks are nightmare birds. You're walking alone at night and then you hear what sounds like Spring Heeled Jack having an orgasm.

I like that meme that has two peahens beholding a peacock with colourful feathers in full erect state. One says: "Cut the crap, show us your willy!"

Lol those are adorable. One time I was in the desert at night. My cousin said he heard a wolf and we laughed saying he was imagining stuff. Just a minute later I could clearly hear a distant howl. I ran to the car like crazy. I'm still not sure what it was. Wolf/fox/jackal but it was definitely there. It was a soft howl though, so might be a young animal but still scared the hell outta me 😅

You silly goose! 😂

it was horny

It’s a weird hi pitched squawk.

Berkeley has feral ones, which can be really startling. Saw a couple of wild turkeys here in Silicon Valley a week or so ago, which threw me. Too urbanized usually. Now wild turkeys I try to avoid from experience. They like to roost in low hanging branches of trees -- yes, the wild version of turkey can get airborne, but only for short distances -- and if you make a mistake of parking under one you will never bad mouth a pigeon again.

Pea fowl are quite noisy.
