Bird of a different color!
I was driving down the Moultonborough neck road going to work around 5:15 in the morning a couple of months ago. Suddenly I had to swerve to avoid what I thought was a turkey. Thinking to myself, stupid turkey, where were you during the season? Then...Woah. That was a funny looking turkey?!
I stopped the truck and hiked back to find a peacock, yes a peacock in the middle of the road. And no, I was stone sober!
So I kind of herded the thing off of the road and into the woods. I would to think of having someone call GEICO to report that their Prius was totaled by a peacock!
There is a small kind of petting farm nearby and knocking on the door, again before 6 AM, to ask if they were possibly missing a peacock. The young lady asked me if it was a male or female? I replied that I didn't take the time to check and did it really matter? ( I was also thinking that maybe some NBC executive was on vacation and had brought the company pet with him)
She and I found the bird in the woods and corralled it in the yard, she thanked me and I was on my way telling myself not to mention this at work or I'd be on my way to the fitness for duty collection site!
