Peafowl

[Carl Clifford <>]

There is also a small population at Blackbutt Reserve, in Newcastle,  
NSW, which has been there more than 20 years that I know of. I have  
occasionally seen young with them, so it seems that they breed.  
Perhaps they also would be tickable. I think I remember reading  
somewhere, that a species is regarded as resident if a breeding  
population is in place for more than 10 years. Can anyone confirm this  
figure.
Cheers,

Hmm, interesting.

Does anyone have an opinion as to whether Peafowl is tickable?

There are small, but long standing, apparently self sustaining  
populations in Collingwood and Fairfield (in Melbourne).  The  
Fairfield Hospital population has been there continuously since at  
leat the late 1980s. These could probably be described as feral, but  
how would this be different to the (I believe tickable) populations of  
Rock Dove, Common Myna, Ostrich, etc.?
