Interesting comments Chris. I recently spent a week on KI (will get around to
writing up a report at some stage). Didn't see any peacocks, but did see a
single Turkey wandering across the road south of Penneshaw. Could not see any
houses about and I was wondering whether there was a feral population present.
Probably not but do I tick it (not really a drama as I have seen them on
Flinders Island anyway).
I have also seen feral Peahen (with chicks) near Licuala Forest walk near
Mission Beach well in the bush away from any houses.
