PINECREST, Fla. (WFOR) – A suburban Florida town overrun with peacocks has come up with a solution to its overpopulation.

The male birds in Pinecrest, Florida, will be getting vasectomies.

Residents have complained the fowl are scratching their roofs and cars, making messes on their driveways, and their squawks are a nuisance.

The procedure on one bird can stop between six to 12 females from reproducing.

The Miami-Dade County commissioners approved the plan and are launching the pilot program in a few weeks.

A county commissioner says if the plan works in Pinecrest, they may use it in other communities, such as South Miami and Coral Gables.

Because of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022), overturning Roe v. Wade, leftist women are now getting spayed, and leftist men are getting vasectomies by peacocks.

Arabs used to neuter excess male camels by holding on to their legs and smashing their testicles with two bricks, but this hasn’t caught on with Democrats outside of parts of California.

In today's America Peacocks are probably not your first worry about creatures over running your city. Just saying...

Ain't that the truth.

You do secure them but it is pretty easy.

And that is when you are yanking out their testes just doing a clip is much less painful.

So no general anesthesia or even any anesthesia. Secure, slice, clip, dab of iodine, done.

A wrist rocket sling shot and a 5/8 inch hex-nut is another option.

Anyone remember this movie: Six Days Seven Nights with Harrison Ford and the late Anne Heche.

To survive the Ford character kills and roasts peacocks. Heche at first thinks they’re too beautiful to kill but then chows down rather than die of starvation.

That’s right.

When I was a kid in southern Arizona, the deer population would get out of hand from time to time, same with coyotes. The AZ game and fish department would allow deprivation hunting on them.

wouldn’t peacock burgers be cheaper and tastier?

[Peter ODonnell]

Seems kind of pushy for peacocks to be roaming a town performing vasectomies to control our population. Surprised there isn’t more push back.

LOL Frank knows what he's talking about.

[Lizavetta]

I’m pretty sure they’d taste like turkey. Why not just thin the herd and feed the hungry? They make an easy target. ;)

LOL! Missed your post - I just said the same thing! :)

Air rifles work just as well and will cost far less.

Peacocks can be pests... especially if you keep a garden.

A friend of mine lives in a rural area of S.E. Michigan and his neighbor has peacocks. They squawk all day and they ate his wife's flowers.

They almost sound like a baby crying or someone wailing
