Yeah these things are everywhere in Arcadia - the first time you see one it's cool... Then you have to continually drive around them to keep from hitting them, and it gets annoying. Sorry about the dent, good luck getting it fixed!

You can also randomly sprinkle paprika or cayenne pepper around your lawn.

Also keeps stray dogs and cats away...

what happens in arcadia if you "accidentally" run them over when they're on the road?

^ definitely! dont wanna be at that scene. hitting a peacock is practically destroying a rare species in the city. but they do tend to wander all over the place. i live maybe a few mins from the arboretum, and those things are in masses on some streets. they dont cause harm, but they can startle some people.

lure the peacock in the garage and tame it.. after that you can put a leash on it and give it walks every morning :] n if possible it can fly you to work! =D

i was gonna suggest spraying the ***** out of it w/ a hose as well. that's wat i do when i get racoons and possums hanging around my crib.

peacocks are hella annoying. my cousin has to deal w/ them all the time around his crib in La Canada/Flintridge.

they are a public nuisance. you should file a grievance w/ the city of Arcadia and demand damages.

if they are so endangered, y are cities allowing them to roam freely in the public and private domain. public officials are putting their lives in jeopardy by speeding cars and more so by disgruntled homeowners.

you might not have the right to harm it in the public unless its causing you imminent or actual bodily harm. but when it comes to your private property, you have to right to protect your private property in all reasonable manners short of executing it. if its protected by the public trust, the state is responsible for the damages it creates under an agency theory (vicarious liability).

thanks guys
and thank zuhhed, but do they do Paintless dent repair? if so, ima give them a call to get a quote.

I don't think the city of arcadia will give a peacock's **** about the damages the peacock did to my car.

How much does a peacock go for anyways???
