Male Peacocks change from being rather passive to immensely territorial during mating season. This is probably why it became hostile.

My neighbors raised Peafowl for over a decade as both food (meat) and feathers, which are rarher prized by clothier's and hobbiests.

Personally, I hate Peacocks; their mating calls go on all night long and will ultimately make everyone hate them.

Sincerely, listen to this and then imagine it repeating every 10-15 seconds literally all night long between April and September:

Putting a video at the start of the article, that does not contain footage of the peacock or chickens, but rather an AI TTS of the article text and stock images, just pure evil

We need to get officer Nicholas Angel on the case.
