We might have but I haven't seen any in this town. They are pretty cute
and I wouldn't mind. Oddly enough, there are peacocks in some places.
There used to be some by my parent's house. I was visiting my parents
once and heard a loud sound - more like a scream than a bird call. My
brother said it was the peacocks that lived down the street. Sure enough
I would see the birds walking about like they owned the place.

Their call is a bit disquieting, so much so that a Makaha woman went
crazy and killed one with a baseball bat. She was 68 years old at a time
but she ran one down and bashed it's head in. That's some spunky old gal!
