be a good one.

something is lost or wandering.

(*question and response chain on my neighborhood website – mixed in among the recommendations for contractors, giveaways, news and upcoming events)

*Anyone lose a peacock? peahen?
A. C. from Crest/Washington · 8h ago
Was leaving the house a little after 11 maybe and a large peacock or peahen appeared wandering through the Kenwood backyards heading north.

P. V. from Crest/Washington · 8h ago
are you sure it wasnt a turkey?

C. G. from Dexter-Miller · 7h ago
A wild turkey has been seen on the South West Side in the last couple days.

A. C. from Crest/Washington · 5h ago
A friend and I were at the end of the drive way when we saw it come through the spaces between the garages and at first I thought I was really losing it because it looked like a vulture perching and then for a split second I did think it was a turkey but it was gone. I swear sometimes you never know in this neighborhood.

S. P. from Crest/Washington · 5h ago
Yes, saw the turkeys last year ( or year before ? ) walking up and around Fair Street near Glendale. I thought there used to be three of them.
J. S. from Dicken · 1h ago
Well. I can think of even a few turkeys who think they themselves are peacocks!

How funny. Perhaps we should be envious of the person who sees peacocks in turkeys. Perhaps that person sees colorful in the deranged, and happy in the confused. :—0

I once thought I saw a tropical parrot in the field behind my house, so much so that I got my camera for a photo. It was a blue potato chip bag.
Currently, there is a huge turkey claiming to be a peacock that is getting on my last nerve.
LOVE that quote!

  I once made my partner stop the car at night, saying “there’s a little white kitten in lost the park” – it was a white plastic bag.

Bwahahaha!! Reminds me of the neighborhood conversation I saw online about a dangerous coyote that had everyone hysterical. And then someone took his picture and he looked about as dangerous as a teddy bear. He was practically laying back on the lounge chair smoking a cigar and drinking a margarita.
