I saw a Corvette one had attacked. He saw his reflection and thought it was another peacock. Did massive damage to the body. Apparently, fiberglass is no match for a pissed off peacock.

When I lived up in the foothills and up a gravel road above East San Jose, our landlord had a large peacock pen that was just down the hill from our house. We got woken every morning by their exremely loud calls. Man, those birds were sure noisy, but very beautiful.
