But I just want to get out of the rain. by randystreat

But I just want to get out of the rain.

I chased the neighbor's peacocks off my (covered) patio. They trotted off but circled back. I was waiting on them. I managed to outlast them this time.
While I am very happy to stay in it!!

They are a pain for you!!!

Do they make a lot of noise?
September 10th, 2022  
Lol, My only encounter with Peacocks was not a happy one as a child (they chased me :-)).

Oh dear what a pest. Great effect.

It sounds like me and my deer.

I know it is an ongoing battle for you but it gave you a fabulous photo and I love the way you processed it

Must be maddening. Love the title.

Shame you cant turn them permanently into paintings

@will_wooderson Haha!
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Well they stayed away until later in the afternoon. I saw one walking around the driveway and thought "wonder if they've been back on the patio." Sure enough. There was a present just where I would walk out the door. *sigh*
@fbailey Not all the time. I think when their hormones are up (spring to mid summer) or if they get startled.
@corinnec These turn around and run the other way. So far they've not chased me, thank goodness.
@wakelys They can be. Thanks Sue.
@joemuli Thanks Joey.
@tunia Except maybe the deer don't poop on your patio.
@grammyn Thanks. Taken with the cell phone and not as crisp as I'd have liked it to be. Make lemonade, right?
@shutterbug49 They can be annoying, sure enough. Thank you Debbie.
@kjarn Don't think I haven't thought about something similar.

you've got staying power, they know what they want!

You have peacocks, we have a neighbor who is always working with a saw. This week I am going to keep a record of all the time he's outside working with it and then complain to the HOA. I know you can't do that with your neighbor though- you are very patient! I wonder if there is some sort of aroma they don't like that you could put out there- sort of like what people put on their plants to ward off the deer.

there is no fence between you and neighbour's so the peafowls don't come to yours? it's really rather annoying if they come by and leave unwanted presents. it's like those pesky pigeons in the balcony and window ledges. the hawks has stopped coming by so them pigeons are frequenting my balcony again, especially when i'm not around to shoo them away. i plan to poison the bastards one of these days. my back hurts trying to clean the damned balcony floor.

@pusspup Indeed, and I'm not the woman to break them.
@haskar Thanks
@rensala Thanks.
@craftymeg Thanks Meg.Take a not so good photo and make it a bit better. Sure am glad I don't shoot film.
@grammyn Thank you
@bkbinthecity Glad you like it Brian.
@granagringa Thanks Madeline.
@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry.
@olivetreeann Good idea Ann. I read an article about animals getting in gardens. One suggestion was planting peppermint. I have some oil, may be i should spray it around the patio. But do birds have a sense of smell? Google ....
@summerfield There actually is a fence. And they can fly, not well or far, but I've watched them fly over the big wooden fence between my house and the next door neighbor's house (not the owners) and over the shorter wire fence between my yard and the owner's yard. I know what you mean about cleaning up. They put wires down the hotel balconies from roof to ground to keep seagulls off (for the same reason) maybe some long strips of weatherproof cloth blowing around on the balcony would keep them away. I've also seen plastic owls set out to deter the birds.

Thanksgiving dinner soon? Just kidding, I know they can be heard for miles.

@brillomick I think he'd be enough for one meal for me. 😁
