Peafowl is one species I would not be concerned about becoming a nuisance feral in Australia. I don't think they would stand a snowflakes chance in hell surviving outside the built-up area with so many foxes and feral cats about.  I'm surprised that chicks have survived in suburbia there. I suspect they go from dog free yard to dog free yard over fences and some people feed them.  Do any COG members live in the area and know if they are fed?
