You ain't heard frightening birds till you have 15-20 peacocks living just a couple of blocks away like I do. And they wander free..... sometimes screaming right outside our bedroom window,
I grew up with just one peacock across the street from us and I just loved the sound... but 15-20 of them? That would drive me crazy.
I do have a neigher 25 acres to the left of us who has every kind of bird in the world it seems he also has one of those peacocks, the sound is faint, he also has an ostrich lol.
He lost his ostrich once, come over our house and said, did you see my bird? I told him theres lots of birds how can I tell yours from anything else, what kind is it? He just said we would definately know when we saw it.
Coupl days later my husband was driving home from work, and about couple miles down the road from home he calls me on his cell phone, he says you will never believe me if I told you what I am looking at right now. He tells me its an ostrich is racing beside his truck (just running along side of it with him).
Then I knew to call our neighbor lol
He was right we would know it when we saw it, he is too funny. Those things are big, glad they dont make that much noise lol
