There are several small groups on Kangaroo Island, some of which appear
to be quite wild.  I've seen them along Hog Bay Road near Pennington Bay
and along the North Coast Road near Wisanger. The latter weren't far
from farmed areas but the ones near Pennington Bay I ticked.

Hmm, interesting.

Does anyone have an opinion as to whether Peafowl is tickable?

There are small, but long standing, apparently self sustaining
populations 
in Collingwood and Fairfield (in Melbourne).  The Fairfield Hospital 
population has been there continuously since at leat the late 1980s.
These 
could probably be described as feral, but how would this be different to
the 
(I believe tickable) populations of Rock Dove, Common Myna, Ostrich,
etc.?
