Clearly, this peacock is trying to make a point of some kind

As someone who was recently characterized as a “burgeoning bird fanatic,” in an unprompted email from an environmentalist organization, I am predisposed to be sympathetic toward the peacock — who goes by the names Bruce, Paco, Peter, Pierre, and Abraham — and his human allies. But, even if I were to despise winged creatures, I would like to imagine that I would not demand this peacock face persecution, simply for expressing his feelings. .
And then, there’s my personal hypothesis that the peacock is simply responding to this precise moment in history, where we’re facing a pandemic that shows no sign of abating, unprecedented economic downturn, and gross failure of political leadership. Imagine responding to this precise moment with anything other than a guttural scream.
Whatever the bird’s message may be, his neighbors would be wise to heed it sooner rather than later. While Fett notes that animal control probably won’t step in to take any action against the peacock , he thinks the community should hire an expert to relocate the fowl to safer terrain — preferably, one without cars and rancorous neighbors. “The bird doesn’t really belong there,” he told SF Gate. “I love the peafowl, but he needs to be back to a place where he’s safe.
May the peacock one day reside in a place where he is appreciated, perhaps alongside another misunderstood avian neighbor: Gerald, the aggressive turkey who was recently removed from Oakland’s Rose Garden for “viciously attacking” people. I would argue that he, too, probably had a point.
