About 15 to 20 years ago someone brought in a breeding pair of peacocks who bred. This was west of me in a much higher appraised value neighborhood with a larger number of people who were new to money and felt entitled. This group complained about the cocks making the noise that peacocks make. It went all the way to a vote in the city; the complainers lost so there are several sets of peacocks in the neighborhood and there is still some resentment which is why the signs are still up. As an addition, there was a group of guinea fowls that were really entertaining to watch interact with each other and the various dogs out on a walk. Someone purposely ran them over last year in an act of maliciousness.
