B) Kicks over stuff because "It's in the way!"
C) Craps all over everythingI am not an a**hole. I am a hemorrhoid. I irritate a**holes!

We have peacocks around here. I used to see them around the area where the Google-plex is now. There are a group of them that hang out around a local winery, as well.
They, like geese, can be dangerous in the wrong circumstances! Though not as bad as geese, which are vicious b*st*rds...“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

When I was a kid I had a pet goose. He made a very effective guard dog...er...goose. I was the only one who could go near him, and I would routinely carry him around like a big baby. And if I wasn't out in the yard he would chase people, including members of my family! So yes, they are vicious bastards

I remember peacocks wandering the grounds freely at the zoo in the city where I grew up. They also tended to roam the golf course and other areas around the zoo. For the most part, the birds were pretty friendly, even the males. Friendly enough that I was able to collect two eggs from a sitting female almost without her even moving off them. (I did make sure she didn't abandon the other eggs and I fed her a handful of bird food by way of apology.) The eggs both hatched, and I hand raised them. Hand raised peacocks are *very* friendly, or at least mine were. Though the male would pout at me once he got too big to perch on my shoulder.
The bird in the video is a hen, and the guy with the net is actually the one that caused most of the damage. As calm as she was, I bet he could have just walked up to her and picked her up with no trouble.You're only delaying the inevitable, you run at your own expense. The repo man gets paid to chase you. ~Argabarga
