Peacocks of Coronado
"This beauty, this page is dedicated in honor of Randy Gillespie, 44, of Clarksdale, killed Monday, July 9 2007 in Herat, Afganistan, 75 miles from the Iranian boarder." KT Oneal
Down in the lower left corner of the Coronado Neighborhood there is a unfamiliar sound in the mornings for a urban setting, but a familiar sound to those who live there. It is the wild peacocks that stroll the sidewalks and streets, bringing a distinctively unique essence. They are a real natural beauty. view the video to see how they adorn the homes and add a colorful sense of nature to the streetscapes.....
It is not until 8 years of age the the males begin to grow their 4 foot tail feathers .......lucky residents find these gems in their yards........
A excellent traffic calming solution and a delight for the children who encounter them from Emerson Elementary School and The Khalsa School nearby.
Unfortunately as of June 2009 East Valley Wildlife will be moving these birds that now number 9 to a ranch in Queen Creek......
