Peahen in yard in Kitchener
Hi - We have a peahen in our yard in Deer Ridge Kitchener, on Pioneer Tower Rd near King Street.
We live uphill from the Grand River with 4 ponds and 2 forests nearby.
Our yard has a pond, but more importantly, we've got a whole bunch of ripe raspberries right now, so that's probably why she dropped by.
A neighbour saw her standing next to a black feral(?) cat next to our picnic table. They were just hanging out. Unfortunately the neighbour didn't get a picture of that.
We think maybe the peahen was someone's pet but so far there have not been any "missing bird" posters out.
