Peacock Invasion: Newcastle Street's New, Noisy Neighbors
18 Jun
Summary
- Colorful peacocks appeared on Adair Avenue within the last month.
- Residents are mostly welcoming despite early morning screeching.
- Birds have entered gardens, perched on roofs, and pecked cars.
Colorful peacocks have recently taken up residence on Adair Avenue in Newcastle, appearing within the past month. Residents on the street off West Road have become accustomed to their new avian neighbors, who have been observed in gardens, on rooftops, and even pecking at vehicles.
While the exact arrival date is unknown, the peacocks' presence has brought both novelty and early wake-up calls. One resident, Dwayne, described their screeches as loud and grating, occurring around 3:30 AM daily. Despite the noise, he and others have grown used to it, finding the situation more amusing than bothersome.
Theories about the peacocks' origin suggest they may have come from the nearby Pendower Hall, though the building's owner denies any knowledge of the birds. Some neighbors have begun feeding the peacocks, indicating a growing acceptance of their unexpected presence on the street.
