If you lived within a half mile or so of their `screetching loud call` I doubt you`ld love hearing it for very long - a roosters early morning call pales into insignificance in comparison. I sypathise with `Oldsarge` - the things do get on your nerves very quickly. I`d like to see a Peacock in a fury - they are such dumb, useless birds that it`s difficult to imagine them getting `worked-up` about anything.
I`ve also heard that the `eyed` feathers are supposed to be unlucky - something to do with the `evil eye` I suspect.
Barossa Valley eh ? Which vineyard ?
