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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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! <br />I just about had a heart attack. Stopped me from reading scary books at night while working.<br /><br />All the best,<br />Glenn BGlenn Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677859688487279914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36746999.post-69555738065592327982011-02-10T02:31:06.151-03:002011-02-10T02:31:06.151-03:00Low tech is good if it works, but I wish you didn&...Low tech is good if it works, but I wish you didn't need it in the first place.<br /><br />My prayers are with you.Findalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881549378886491540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36746999.post-5411035648304750402011-02-09T18:18:30.471-03:002011-02-09T18:18:30.471-03:00I live at the church and was thinking of putting c...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. <br /><br />Just kidding. I am glad you have that protection. You are our front line troops in Paraguay.
