Have you ever noticed that people who get a pet peacock, never ever get a second one?

Pet Peacock!

Very pretty, yes indeed, and they look fabulous wandering over your lawn ... but the screeching is something else again ...

... but nothing on earth can beat the sheer awfulness of that screeching at dawn. And every dawn too. Every single dawn. And that screech really grates on your nerves, fingers-down-blackboard style.

So, tell everyone you know who wants a pet peacock ... DON'T!!! You have been warned!
