WTF Wednesday

I am borrowing this 'WTF Wednesday' theme from Mango who I think got it from Murphy Dogg awhile ago. Just a few hours after we posted Wordless Wednesday's post today we received a visitor to the Mooselodge that made me say WTF?

Hellooo? Anyone home?

I know we have had lots of virtual visitors show up at this door (like sporty dogs and Max), but this is totally for Reals!

Knock Knock?

Yes, it is an actual peacock on the doorstep of the Mooselodge! And he totally pecked on the glass to come in!

I see you in there lady... so it is gonna be like that, is it?  Not even gonna let me in?

Maybe he stopped by to promote the 2010 Olympics televised on NBC?

How about here... anyone home?

I could not believe Moose was sleeping and did not even wake up but it turns out he had gone to Seattle to visit Darwin and (I think his name is) Clive!

Maybe this door?

Lucky thing for this peacock because Moose would not have been all that happy about his visit. He has seen peacocks before when we were in Miami and did not seem fazed but then they were not on his doorstep!
Here is some video of the bird:




In case you are really wondering... I called Animal Control who seemed surprised and referred me to the Florida Keys Wild Bird Sanctuary and they told me that there is a colony living down in plantation (15 miles south of us) but this one must have gotten out from a neighbors yard (my neighbors have peacocks???). They said since he was not hurt to just wait and call back if he was not gone in a few days and they would come and move him to Plantation. When I lived in Miami there were some that wandered in my neighborhood and around coconut grove supposedly having escaped during Hurricane Andrew which damaged Miami Zoo and now living wild. But I have never heard of them in the Keys so was quite shocked and wanted to call around and take some photos before I let Moose scare him off! He wandered to the next yard over before Moose sauntered out of bed though... would have been an interesting encounter!
