In truth, the reason for my initial investigation was for whether I could add
them to my VicTwitch list. So the tassie tick isn't quite applicable in this
case. I have seen them on Rottnest Island and Tassie before though. I did
forget to add information into my write up about the generations. It seems like
there have been at minimum 4-5 generations of peafowl on the island according
to the parks Vic people.
