Feral Peacock

I took a wrong turn trying to find the alleyway that would take me closer to Hana's junior high school entrance. While backing out, I saw something that I had not seen on the island thus far:



Chickens and roosters, yes, a dime a dozen on the island. Lizards and iguanas. Goats and cows. Dogs cats aplenty. But a peacock? Never, not once, had I seen one just wandering around. It was just chilling in this junkyard:



It was accompanied by a couple of roosters and what I think are turkeys:



Are those turkeys? Or are they baby peacocks? What do I know - only animals of this sort I saw growing up in NY were pigeons.
