Security walls around our house.

The neighbor's pet peacock is our guard dog!
Nothing gets past KEVIN!

A peacock is not as much a 'guard dog' but more the 'watch dog'. If someone has never heard the alarm cry of a peacock before it is understandable how they would not realize just how good of a watch dog they could be.
First time ever that I heard a peacock was on a very dark night when I was in the Border patrol. It was our quiet season and I was reading a book by flashlight - The Shining. Shame on me for reading on duty but got mine for doing it.
There was a sensor hit and I had to go check it. I got out of my vehicle, and was following the tracks of some illegal aliens across a farm lot. Suddenly I heard an ear piercing low then high pitched scream followed by about 4 other spurts of terrible and very scary noise. Then, just as suddenly, I heard a strange noise like wings flapping rapidly and the next thing I knew a peacock was in my face wings beating me furiously. Hmm, maybe they do qualify as guard dog after all!
I just about had a heart attack. Stopped me from reading scary books at night while working.
All the best,

I can't imagine how a peacock can guard a house??
I live at the church and was thinking of putting concertina around it and calling it the church compound. Remember I live in (according to CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC) the most violent nation on the planet, the USA.
Just kidding. I am glad you have that protection. You are our front line troops in Paraguay. Thank you for helping us fulfill the Great Commission.

Low tech is good if it works, but I wish you didn't need it in the first place.
My prayers are with you.
