As residents of Wadeview Park, Orlando, FL, we have grown to love and cherish the vibrant peacocks that roam our community. They are not just birds; they are a signature staple of our community. Their presence brings joy to us all and adds a unique charm to our neighborhood.

However, there is an alarming concern that these beautiful creatures might be removed from their home by city officials. This would not only disrupt the ecosystem but also rob us of an integral part of what makes Wadeview Park special.

Peafowls are protected animals under Florida law (Florida Statute 828.12). Removing them would violate this statute and potentially harm their population which is already under threat due to habitat loss and predation.

We urge city officials to reconsider any plans for removal, instead focusing on measures that ensure the safety and well-being of both the peacocks and residents alike. We propose more education about living harmoniously with these birds or implementing traffic calming measures in areas where they frequently cross roads.

Let's stand together as a community for what we believe in - protecting our beloved peacocks! Please sign this petition urging city officials not to remove them from Wadeview Park.
