Wouldn’t it be a peahen?

[Pelham]

There’s neighborhoods in Orange County California where peacocks live wild. Street peacocks. The locals who live among them are way less happy about that situation than the people who just drive through and see them.

Brutal. Too soon! People are still mourning you heartless cad.

[BenLurkin]

Must have owed him money.

It seems both peacocks were male.

“It seems both peacocks were male.”

How can you be sure how they identified? What were their pronouns?

I know animals grieve for one another. I’ve seen it with my Irish Wolfhounds. Which is why I have 3 or more dogs at a time.

If I had only 1 and it died, I would be beside myself with grief.
If I had only 2 and 1 of them died, the remaining dog and myself would grieve.
If I have 3 or more, there are 2 dogs left who comfort each other and comfort me.

Are you talking about NBC?

[scrabblehack]

MSNBC?

I can’t believe the first post out of the gate didn’t get the obvious take here. If I had any graphics skills, I’d have posted the NBC peacock mournfully standing next to a tombstone with CNN on it.

Awe.

I like hearing peacocks around sunset from a few blocks away.

[gundog]

Don’t judge.

[madison10]

Yes.

[Ransomed]

“The sad event was commemorated with copious amounts of feces and deafening shrieking.”

RIP, it’s what they would have wanted.

Good point. We have two female dogs in house, but they hate each other. One is my mom’s, but I spend most time with her; other is my brother’s, and they moved in a few years ago. The dogs have to be keep separate at all times.
