I went outside this morning to find a banana slug in the peacock's bowl looking like he was in a food coma.

He must have been there awhile because he pooped on the deck too:blink::wtf:

And btw, why in the world was he eating that? Seemed so odd to me, lol. Anyway, I thought "uh oh. The peacocks are going to be here soon. This can't be good. They peck anything that moves. I mean if I drop a seed they see it from like 15 feet away. Well he must have heard me because he started moving:D he didnt quite hustle enough though, lol. They showed up when he was only five planks away image.jpeg
I expected this wasn't going to end well for him. Especially when this beautiful lady came up from behind me. She must have flown down from the other side. I didn't move because she was all set to accidentally stomp him, lol. image.jpeg
However, she and a few others looked down at him and were like "no way". Must have made that mistake before or they can tell it just looks like a giant wet booger:laugh:. So I took their seed out and tossed it in the yard, he made his escape, and the ladies ate and then cleaned their butts:D they looks so round don't they? Lol. image.jpeg I love these darn peacocks. Especially when they get on the roof and look down in the skylight, lol. Not sure if I shared those already or not, but this guy actually flew over my head from the railing up there. Was so darn cool! image.jpeg

No they just hang out here, lol. I don't know if someone owns them or if they just live in the woods up here.

I personally do not feel friendly with slugs. I do not hate them, but I prefer birds BY FAR to be honest. Bird are great :)

I think it's their stalky eyes that get me. I love that for some reason, lol. Like hermit crabs. Adorable! I used to put out the birds discarded veggies for the garden slugs when I lived in NC

The slug came back last night btw. Pretty sure he is living under the deck. Other half put more seed out for him, lol
