At work today ............

I had to contend with Peacock shit. It was all over the tops of some of the branches of a big Weeping Willow that I was working on. They roost up over night in there apparently. There's four of them, and one is a right vicious bastard; tries to attack me every time I go there.

Rather you than me, they're bloody intimidating things when they get stroppy!

It's just the one, a male, that's aggressive. He's a sneaky bugger; as soon as you turn your back he creeps up on you. Surprisingly quiet for such big birds. He's drawn blood on a few occasions, with me and others.
If they were mine I'd use a big stick to teach some respect. Got to be careful though, not good for customer relations!

If it was mine it would be in the freezer!

Yeah I have been wondering about their culinary suitability. There'd be plenty of meat, they're goose sized easily.

Weren't they an essential part of the medieval 'ten bird roast'? You know, where they stuffed the birds inside each other like Russian dolls..
