Is Kenmore on the Brink of a Massive Peacock Infestation?

Out on a walk a few days ago I spotted this beauty just chilling on a fence in somebody’s front yard on 80th Ave:
Then I noticed this story out of Bellingham: ‘Wild’ peacocks becoming a common sight in Whatcom County
The Whatcom Humane Society has received at least two calls a week for the past three months from people reporting peacock sightings all over the county, said Krista Unser, manager of animal care and services.
That’s one infestation I don’t think I would mind. Peacocks are pretty cool birds, in this blogger’s opinion.
What surprised me was to see the above-pictured dude hanging out so close to a street as busy as 80th Ave. I wonder how long it has lived around there? It was pretty obviously not contained in any way, but perhaps is it somebody’s pet?
Herons, crows, and peacocks—living together in harmony here in Kenmore.

Crow Time in Downtown Kenmore
Posted by the Kenmore Crow | Filed under Photo/Video | No Comments Yet!
Let’s kick things off on a relatively light note.
Here’s a video of crow time in downtown Kenmore earlier this evening. For those of you who live on the outskirts of our little village, crow time is a twice daily occurrence when thousands of crows commute to and from downtown Seattle for work. The veritable river of crows stretches as far as you can see in either direction and lasts for about half an hour.
At dawn every day the massive murder flies east to west into the big city, and at dusk they fly back to their homes in the suburbs… much like most Kenmore residents. The main difference is that the crows go in to work seven days a week, and their work day is about 15 hours long (in the summer, anyway).
Makes all of you seem a little lazy.
