Peafowl on Rottnest

[(John Leonard)]

Mention was made the other day of the feral Peafowl on Rottnest. I was there
a couple of years ago and saw them around the settlement, but it just didn't
occur to me that they might be feral and therefore 'tickable'; they just
behaved like domestic birds. Surely a bird whose main food seems to be
discarded chips around the cafes can't really be a wild bird? isn't there a
more truly feral population on Flinder's Island, for those keen on ticking
ferals?
