Description

Yup. We've got peacocks running around central Florida. Hell, they're everywhere now, all across the state. I've seen them in the Lake county countryside. I've seen them running through apartment complexes in downtown Orlando. I've seen them foraging around parking lots in Debary. In Miami, they're... yeah, everywhere.

Peafowl, baby. Bringing it on with full-on gaudiness and attitude.
