Furthermore, a ‘swap’ is unlikely to be feasible.  The scrubfowl is a stay-at-home.  According to ‘Introduced Birds of the World’, now somewhat dated, there have been no successful (or even unsuccessful) introductions of the scrubfowl.  Peafowl have been introduced in various places, including in California – at Palos Verdes Estates, Rolling Hills, and Portuguese Bend.  You would hear them in old Tarzan movies, had those not been made on the other side of the USA -  at Morgan Island, Louisiana, haunt of the Laughing Kookaburra.

Good read alert: There is a full page article by Nicholas Rothwell in today's The Australian: 'Love and War in our own backyard'. It describes affectionately the social context for a Top End issue of interest.

I would swap Canberra's Peacockery for Darwin's Scrubfowlery any day of the week.
