Hi Steve,
Not sure about Peafowl in SE Qld, but on King Island, where there are
heaps of them, they seem to roost amongst fairly dense vegetation -
usually in Tea-tree thickets along watercourses - but then forage far
and wide during the day, out into paddocks and people's gardens.
I don't know whether this helps you across the line to 400!
Cheers,
John Tongue,
Ulverstone, Tas.

Hello all. Speaking of dodgy ticks and feral populations. The other
day I
was driving through Cunningham's Gap in SE Queensland (Main Range
National
Park) and spotted a pair of Peafowl beside the road. These birds
seemed to
be a long way from any farms or habitation. For those that don't
know the
area, it is lush rainforest. Pizzey and Knight says that there are
semi-feral populations in SE Queensland, and I was just wondering
if any
Queensland birders know where these populations are supposed to be.
And what
habitat do Peafowl require? And, No, I haven't ticked them (Even
though I am
sitting on 399 Aussie birds!).
Cheers Steve Murray
