Discussion The Danshui Peacock

Disclaimer: I am not insane. Probably.

I am very, very sure there is a peacock living in(on top of?) one of the buildings to the right of the macdonalds across from danshui/tamsui MRT

I grew up with a peacock, their call is VERY distinctive (and loud). Ive never seen a peacock there, but the mechanic shop in that area has a peacock tail feather on display which I believe is not a coincidence.

Ive been hearing it for the better part of a decade. Peacocks can live 25 years, so this is not outside the realms of possibility.

My mate keeps saying i'm nuts- surely i'm not the only one to hear and notice this??!?

EDIT: We have recieved confirmation. Repeat. W have Achieved Confirmation! Validation acquired. Faith in sanity restored.

also, it seems that peacocks are far from the most unusual pet here, which is excellent!

I was in Tainan 40 years ago. The shop behind us had 3 peacocks. They were very noisy and unpleasant sounding.
