Chickens??? In our Backyard

We had some unexpected visitors this morning. It was a little after 9:00 this morning and we where leaving to run some errands. Rich had taken Tyler out to the car when I was grabbing some things. As Rich was sitting there 2 peacocks walk past the vehicle and into our back yard. Yes, I did say Peacocks. When I walked outside they were walking past the back door. Wow! I was surprised. We got Tyler out and we stood by the gate and watch as they wondered around our yard. Tyler was so excited and keep saying "Chickens, Chickens". We left for a couple hours and when we came home after picking up Katelyn from school they were just sitting in one of flower beds. Katelyn was quite upset thinking they were going to eat and smash all the flowers. We had the Hellewell's and Pachev's come over and check out our little friends. We called animal control and an officer came by. She said the best thing to do would be to scare them off, and hopefully they would find there way home. It took a few minutes but we were able to scare them off. They wondered to the neighbors and found a shady spot near their porch to sit.
