Peacocks in Dunfermline Scotland given the freedom of the city

I had no idea that there were free roaming peacocks in Scotland. We have free roaming Peacocks in Canberra too, in the suburb of Narabundah and out in Pialigo near Canberra airport. They are magnificent birds to see, and seeing them flying is surreal. However there are tragedies in the management of these birds as they are not easy to contain and will often escape into the busy streets and get hit by cars. Even at our local zoo and aquarium, peacocks are wandering around the grounds because they just fly over the enclosure the live in and go for a walk around to interact with visitors. 

They are such beautiful birds like something out of a fairy tale or from mythology that bring joy to everyone just by their presence.
