Probably.

I've seen it a few times over the last few years, around the end of
Hawdon St where it meets the Dickson Playing fields - the last time a
couple of months ago.  I've always been surprised that it hadn't been
got by a feral something-or-other.

Dickson?  February?  Possibly the same bird reported 2 years ago (below)

      With John Layton's family reporting California Quail and now
Alison's
Rowell's with repeat sightings of Guineafowl in deepest Dickson, I
hardly
like to mention that my local street peacock has clocked up 10 years
free-roaming in Narrabundah, every night faithful to the same street
tree.
Surely it is only a matter of time before someone reports a colony of
what
Hanzab calls Feral Chicken and C&B call Red Junglefowl in some
little-visited corner of Mulligans Flat.>>
