Oh please they're a minor inconvenience. People are the problem
Aside from them being loud I have seen them ruin paint on cars.
Wait til you have to live with them and their exploding populations...
People always complain about nuisance animals yet fail to acknowledge the explosion and sprawl of the human population across the country, the world.
Many people fail to acknowledge how much humans have transformed natural habitats, how much human living quarters take away wildlife "real estate" and then complain animals become nuisances because they have no where naturally left to go to care for their young.
Compare the population of humans to peacocks and you'll find humans are terribly out of balance with the natural world.
Right?!
Peacocks are not native to the US and I'm guessing you've never had to deal with them but you keep getting up on your high horse Karen.
@@suelyons531 They are not a Karen. They made a valid observation and point
@@suelyons531 You do live around them and are bothered by them. From my high horse, I agree with maryshkmiceki8388 100%. I lived in a country many years ago where they ran rampant. One almost manured on me from a tree above when I was walking our poodle. Stepped in the stuff, too. But I still loved them. Man, on the other hand, is happy to run off any animal in order to live where he wants to. And some get vasectomies, but not enough. The human species is constantly growing. Look what's happened to the USA in the past 500 years. Lots of sex with little family planning has created a whole lot of people who were not indigenous, yet we keep breeding and spreading our seed, with little care about other species. I guess you can call me Karen, too.
So True …
Peacocks are not a nuisance they are natures greatest early warning system.
Some people need that as well...
The taxpayers would thank them for it.
Start a peacock park.
There are some of the sweetest wild animals you could ever get to know. They removed them from my neighborhood and it is caused me more grief than I’ve ever known. They may be trouble but taking them away from people that love them is worse in my opinion. walking with the peahens and their peachicks is one of the best past times I’ve known in my life
Too many humans.
My peacock hurts just thinking about a vasectomy
😂😅
Was that a soldering gun tube mangler?
😂😂😂
You can drop off a couple of non fixed breeding pairs at my house. 😅
My friends in that area love the Peacocks. This does seem very humane and just as the CatTNR programs that work well in handling overpopulation yet let the ferals stay in their habitat this seems like a good solution for the Peacocks. .
I like the noise they make
You would think that predators would eat them more
Yeah like where those giant invasive pythons at?
I don't know if pythons would get them, but coyotes, owls, hawks, dogs, and cats do not. Peafowl are fierce buggers by day and roost in trees (away from coyotes) at night.
Do people eat them?
Damn right leave alone they were here first weren't destroying the planet
Poor birds dont know any better. Theyre cute too.
How do you know the peacocks and peahens don't know any better? They may think the same thing about us.
Cute peacocks 😮😅
Those people are so unhappy
Did she Just... Scream at somebody and say that they were a nuisance or something Bro?
So florida gets peacock for free while everyone else pays 🤑
In the Midwest we got turkeys, in Florida they got peacocks
Similar to catch, neuter, or spay and then release of feral cats. How do you tag the neutered males to avoid confusion?
If they are smart, leg bands.
None of that actually works. Especially with these birds, since it only takes one unneutered male to take care of every hen in the area. Just an expensive feel-good exercise.
We love our geese in Tennessee. We would never give them a vasectomy without consent.
Oh how cruel people are!
Will the females continue to lay unfertilized eggs?
Yes. Doesn't change any behaviors. Even if there were no males around the girls would lay and set eggs but when they don't hatch the females give up and leave them after about three weeks. Same with most large game birds like turkeys, peahens, pheasant ect.
I'm curious why nobody is eating the eggs or the chicks but I guess it makes sense to me that most Floridians wouldn't know a delicacy if it attacked their car in broad daylight and called loudly on their roof at night.
It’s political 😂😂
What about the worldwide human nuisance? No one is adressing that huge fundamental problem. Fix this first and all the other problems will gradually fix themselves without needing external intervention.
Que ridículo...animalitos tan lindos... La gente no ama la creación de Dios.
If you ever had to listen to a dozen of the males yelling their foolish heads off at four in the morning you wouldn't love them so much. They are louder and much more piercing than a rooster call and once one of them starts every other male for blocks will challenge him to a shouting match. They're not native to Florida, they're like the pythons and iguanas, introduced from elsewhere and a bloody nuisance.
They need to be kept of the road
This is sad. We have wild turkeys here in New Brunswick. They were not a native species but migrated from the U. S. Some residents complain about them. Large flocks on the roads and eating farmers grain crops. But I just love seeing them. I have a couple of hens with young broods every summer around my home. I think they are fascinating. Peacocks are even more so! Perhaps they could find a few uninhabited islands to move them to. Like a refuge for tourists to visit. or maybe the Amazonian rain forest. Where they would be controlled naturally by all of the nasty predators.
They are not Native to South America. They are Native to Africa.
Here in st Pete we have 60 at least that I counted the other day! I have video’s and pics….. and they live 1 street over.
Exactly they live there
They're coming for you!
Same in Tampa in the Wellswood neighborhood. We also have all the roosters and Ybor, but they’re totally fine. Lol.
The Peacocks and Peahen could just be very easily be transported to my house without any worries. I hear that they are very good at warding 🐍 away. May is mating season for 🐍 in the Carolinas. No one has time to be chased by a snake while mowing the lawn.
Leave them be.
PETA members joined the chat 😂
You know we need in Miami? Hawks takes care of a bunch of issues iguanas, pigeons, peacocks
In California nothing eats peacocks... not enough to even slightly dent the population.
How do you tell which males were fixed? 🤔
Leg bands for the birds, I’m guessing. Hatcheries do it.
@@GameGhost1 OH that must be it.
I heard many of you moaning about food prices, hellooo free food here.
This is very similar to trap-neuter-return (TNR) with stray and feral cats overpopulating in a neighborhood.
I hear they taste like chicken.
We are all connected and always solutions. Leave our wildlife alone.
Catch and cook
They wouldn’t survive much in China. I heard they are expensive delicacy there. Every moving thing is delicious in China!
When there's never enough protein to go around you learn that when you're hungry enough almost everything with legs eventually tastes like chicken.
They are actually pretty good don't knock it till you try it
@@user-yn4xc8kt3i
I wasn’t knocking it. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t mind trying it if I had the chance. Just wondering why they don’t eat them here. Where I live, there are just too many ducks by the lake-untouched-yet it isn’t a taboo to eat ducks.
Pretty Nutty!
Hopefully they dint go extinct because of human damage
Too bad we cant say the same for today's society. 1:58
Don't remove them or surgery it's against to nature.leave them alone.. they go away when they want it
I blame DeSantis for this.
Curry anyone???
Involuntary peacock vasectomy is abuse. That dr should be arrested for sexual battery.
But roast or BBQ Faisán is not a gourmet delicacy?
Super idea to give them vasectomies. Long Island could use this to fix their deer problems
It would fix people problem too. LOL
are they talking to Joe about getting some cannibals?
1 hour procedure per unit ? 🤔 .
do the math. .. 😳 .
free Me !!
So the snip solves reproducing, but they still are an expensive nuisance. These birds live how long before their antics will be gone? Would have been educational to learn how they know it’s a male, what is used to show the male has been rendered infertile & who pays for this procedure. These reporter’s went to college right? A feral cat’s ear is tipped when they’ve been spayed or neutered.
The Male has the spectacular Tail Feathers.
Same as with humans, the Human Male doesn’t need makeup, hairdo and costume.
Great job guys ❤
Why were these peafowl introduced in the usa? And why NOT Just hire hindu residents?
Whaaa? What does hiring people of a certain religion help? Peafowl have been commonly kept in US zoos and private parks for a hundred years at least. Florida has frequent hurricanes, no natural predators, and lots of jungle which allows the captive ones to escape and overpopulate quickly in a climate similar to where they are native.
@@Heterogeneity dude: hindu Does NOT Mean Just hinduism:It can Mean the citizens of índia too!,since peafowl originated from the indian subcontinent They CAN help!
@@pedrogabrielduarte4544 Help how? In India predators would take out some without any input from the local population. Are you suggesting that Florida imports more foreign species? (Incidentally, Hindus are only a subsection of citizens from India. A majority but not all. You should ask Muslims from India if they would like to be called Hindus and see how they like it.)
@@markusgorelli5278 no i meant that you Americans MUST hire HUMAN indian Hunters for THAT Specialty!
@@pedrogabrielduarte4544 Hindu hunters? lol. Ask Hindus if they practice catch and release of peacocks in their country.
In Hindu texts some of which I have read, when the main good guys hunted, it was for eating.
The local HOA must consist of tree huggers.
🦚
Send them to Singapore 🇸🇬, please.
I give the community credit for finding a humane solution. 👍
I find you to be a bit too noisy for my liking as well, but would also very much like to be humane about it. Shall we commence with the tying of the tubes?
Peacock tongues were once a great delicacy.
Too much peacocking can lead to vasectomy
They look like they might taste good.
DINNER!
Dr. Kevorkian jr.😂
They taste just like a turkey!
I knew I'd find comments saying that this is unnecessary and peacocks are majestic.... . but I grew up on a compound that had 6-8 peacocks at any given time and two of those were albinos.
Hearing what sounds like a woman's shriek throughout the day is unsettling.
They also like to wreak havoc and peck at things but that compound was located in Asia I grew accustomed to the mischievous monkeys, the invasive iguanas and snakes, and all other wildlife!😮
Come on! We eat cows, chickens, ducks etc. It’s free meat. This article is so stupid.
#1st
Actually a bot beat you to that spot and still had more a more interesting comment than you. Ouch. 😂
Peacocks are from South Asia. Treat them like pythons.
How pathetic
I think that this would be an excellent thing to do for ALL men….,no more baby daddies😊
Will humans ever stop trying to play God? Repent and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, time is short.
An abundance of large birds...starving homeless families...lets invest in bird vasectomies! That’s the smartest solution!
I have a very cheap solution.
Send them to my community we will love them
It's always fun when people think they can speak for their entire community....
@@suelyons531 I live in a 42 acre and my neighbors have some acres too and Peacock as pets. It is an individual community decision but here were i live we love them.
Peacock without pea-nuts is the solution 😂
they can be a problem here in southern california as well … 🦚🦚
So florida gets peacock for free while everyone else pays 🤑
Imagine spending a lot of money for snipping when you could fill the table with high-quality proteins for free. The world is going down the toilette.
