Oh… Shouldn’t you go and pick up that peacock and give it shelter at home? Poor thing. What will the people in charge of such matters do about it? Every day I’m more astonished by the things I see in this world. Yet the incident you mention led me to look into it a little… Who can say if it experiences sorrow. Science outlines possible ‘causes’: territorial behaviour and watchfulness, bewilderment at the scene and a search for meaning, or perhaps an urge to shield it from other creatures…
Hope you manage to make the most of the rest of your Saturday.

When we saw the bird, I told my daughter it's a 'Kraanvogel' in my language, a Crane in English (Balearica) but she told me it's a Peacock but it turned out I was right after all, there was a news article about it in the evening. It's still a sad story for such a beautiful bird.
The priority vehicle that was present probably waited for animal rescue to arrive and take it to a bird shelter or maybe the zoo where they escaped from I don't know.
How lovely it is! Yes, you were right. You seem to know about birds. The newspapers say it is a kraanvogel and described it as a hartverscheurend tafereel. 😔 Poor thing...
Wow you were able to find the article! 😀 Yeah so sad
