I recall that, a few years ago, one bright young man tried to control peafowl numbers in old Narrabundah by using his automobile as an agent of control. He succeeded in putting a small dent in the population and as a result there were those who wished to put one in his head.

Hi all

 

It looks like a Peafowl eradication program will shortly have to be employed if these ferals continue breeding.

 

Have we learnt nothing from previous plagues of introduced species?

 

 

Cheers
