For those that may recall, back in February I mentioned the neighborhood peacock that took shelter during the winter on our back porch. Well, it turns out he’s gone missing. A local TV station recently ran a story calling for help in locating the bird, as he has been missing now for over a week. Not that I expect any of you guys to have any leads, but I thought it was interesting enough of a follow up to mention it. Then again, if someone named me “Pretty Boy Napoleon,” I think I might just run away from home myself.
Then again, the rather morbid part of me can’t help but wonder if Napoleon’s disappearance is in any way related to our other recent wildlife encounter….
Man… that it could be. I remember the last time the kids and I visited the zoo in San Francisco. It unnerved me a bit to see the peacocks walking around outside the cages, but then I found out that it seemed to be impossible to pen a peacock. It was really cool to see one that close up with no restraints.
