Animal Protection Services officers are investigating the death of the peacock, which belonged to a resident in a small gated neighborhood but had come to be accepted as the neighborhood pet throughout the years.
She said the staff rushed to treat him, even looking into getting a blood transfusion from another peacock. But they found Pete had actually been shot twice.
Several neighbors say they are heartbroken. They loved to feed Pete berries and found comfort in knowing he was always just around the corner, lounging in someone's yard or chasing the garbage truck on Tuesday mornings. Even the homeowners association accepted Pete as a neighborhood fixture.Pete often was seen admiring his reflection in the chrome detailing of cars parked in the neighborhood.
Carter described it a happy accident how Pete came to be a resident in this neighborhood. Pete's owner, she said, claims that years ago, the peacock randomly showed up at his doorstep. He decided to keep it.Now the neighborhood is too quiet — and less colorful — without him, Carter said.
