I have a neighbor down the road a bit that has pretty spotted peacocks according to another friend of mine. When I took a drive down there they turned out to be what I suspected... guinea fowl. They wouldn't be allowed in my neighborhood we're governed by an association but I'll bet that's why they have them down the road. Too bad the wild turkeys don't take care of the ticks also. Maybe I should just get the guinea fowl and tell the neighbors they're wild. :0) They can't be louder than my parrots. Deb
