Miami suburb sterilises peacocks

Peacocks strutting across lawns, screeching from rooftops, and even attacking their own reflections have become a fixture of daily life in Pinecrest, a leafy suburb of Miami. Now, a unique effort is underway to manage their booming population – through vasectomies.

Dr. Don Harris, an avian and exotic animal veterinarian, is leading the sterilization project. So far, nearly 400 male peacocks have undergone the procedure without a single complication.
