<div style="RIGHT: auto">Does anyone in the Ravenswood area have peacocks or some other type of LARGE bird? I put out some birdseed for the birds and a couple of times now over the past few weeks there's been a VERY large brown bird partaking of the birdseed. Haven't seen it fly, it just sort-of "strolls" around.<var id="yui-ie-cursor"></var>" It's between 2 1/2- 3 feet tall. Someone told me they thought it was a peacock, but to me it looks far too big for a peacock, looks almost like a wild turkey. I certainly don't mind if Big Bird has a snack, but if it's someones' pet, I'd hate to see it get hurt if it's roaming around free. (have tried to get a picture, but no luck) </div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>TownTalk mailing list</span><br><span>To post to the list, send mail to <a href="mailto:TownTalk@riverdale-park.org">TownTalk@riverdale-park.org</a></span><br><span><a href="mailto:TownTalk-request@riverdale-park.org">TownTalk-request@riverdale-park.org</a> is for automated subscription processing only</span><br><span><a href="http://riverdale-park.org/mailman/listinfo/towntalk">http://riverdale-park.org/mailman/listinfo/towntalk</a></span><br><span></span><br><span>For more information about Riverdale Park, visit <a href="http://www.riverdaleparkmd.info">http://www.riverdaleparkmd.info</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
