Other than the Guardian article being completely false clickbait, and there being nothing like anything ever that could possibly ever oneday be considered as being anything vaguely similar to even a metaphor of a "plague of peacocks" . . . great article there, Guardian.

It is being reported in New Zealand as well. I don't think it is fake clickbait, but it only affects farmers in a few areas.

It is a problem in NZ.

First I've heard of the issue. I think they have massively overstated it.we have a few pest species but I wouldn't think peacocks are much of an ecological problem. More likely an economic one to a few farmers.

It is a problem, but pales in comparison to possums. Need to eradicate those things in NZ.
