By the way, a female 'peacock' is called a 'peahen'. It's called a pea-cock because it has one.

Well it's a start, but we don't have a big problem with peacocks where I live, maybe they could catch a few crows though.

They escaped from police custody ? Man-o-live they will do some serious bird if they are caught a second time !

Suggest: Tar and Feathering them !

Fine the peacocks! Not a big fine, just a poultry sum. They need to pay for their crimes.

The good denizens of Ōamishirasato suspect fowl play by law enforcement officers.
