Peacocks are not native to southwest Ohio. St. John said Wednesday that a local family owns some of the birds but said the prowling peacocks are not theirs. Attempts at catching them have been unsuccessful.
St. John says that if motorists come across a peacock in the road, it's better to hit the bird than swerve into another car or a pedestrian.

(AP) FAIRFIELD, Ohio (AP) - Two peacocks strutting their stuff have motorists on alert in one Ohio community. Police in Fairfield Township north of Cincinnati said more than a dozen people have called 911 in the last month to report they spotted the flamboyant birds. Police Chief Richard St. John isn't sure where they came from, and he's concerned the unusual sights could startle motorists and pose a traffic hazard.
First off all, more than a dozen people have called 911 because they see a bird walking around? Are you fucking serious? People are calling 911 when they see birds now? Next thing to ask, unsuccessful attempts at catching the peacocks? How hard can it be to take a gun and shoot the damn things if they are scaring people in the area that bad?
Lastly, did the police chief really have to warn people to not swerve into another car or a fucking person to avoid killing the bird? No shit, you don't have to go telling people that. If the people in your fucking city don't already know that it might not be a good idea to kill a person or risk killing themselves in order to avoid hitting a damn bird then I hope I never find myself in that god damn community in my fucking life.
