it's that it is such a creepy call and they do it in the middle of the night.

the 1st time i heard them was in hawaii, and they were across a river valley a mile away.
ppl'd be calling the cops telling them someone was murdering a child.

my chickens do occasionally wander, but only when the feeder is empty. i doubt peacocks are much different. someone may have dumped the poor guy. happens to roos all the time.
