One of the unique spring sounds of Rancho Palos Verdes, and our neighboring cities of Rolling Hills Estates and Palos Verdes Estates,  is the mating call of the peacock.  Those of you who don't have this birds walking around your neighborhood probably think of them as beautiful, exotic birds.  They are beautiful.  If  one of them were to park under your bedroom window at 2 a.m. and repeatedly give its raucous mating cry,  your opinion of them would quickly change.  We occasionally see two or three of them strolling down the middle of one of our curvy, major streets.
