Wild Peafowl???? In LANCASHIRE?????

[Miss Z]

Now we have pheasants too! I've never seen a pheasant near my house, but just now i have been watching a lovely male in my garden. He'll definitely get fat on all the food we leave out for wildlife, good job there's no game hunters around here!

Sorry... but what is a peafowl?

Sorry... but what is a peafowl?

It's the term used to describe peacocks and peahens. Most people would call them peacocks, but that only refers to the MALE birds. A bit like cows and cattle



Here's a pic (googled, not taken by me, they won't come near enough for pics )

My theory is that when England "invaded" India they brought them back with them?
