    Hi All,

    So this Peacock who lives behind Pardeshas store (between Winters and Berryessa) has become depressed with the season or something and has tried to commit suicide by walking out in front of me twice in the last week. Both times I was able to stop him with the horn, but these birds are really, really dumb, so watch out. They can hop/fly right across at chest level...... Both times he was crossing 128 at the east driveway for Pardeshas, crossing in a different direction each time. He waited for the bike in front of me to pass, then started across. Luckily he is so bright blue...

    Stay safe,
    Steve

    Depending on age, ability to produce off spring and speed.

    I got dibs on the feathers. My fly tying buddies are interested.

    Steve, I can get you deer hide and pheasant feathers if your buddies have a need for any of those materials.

    Sounds like we have a few bird hunters here.
