    Hanging the bird upside down, cutting its neck (specifically, the arteries that are in the neck) and letting it bleed out is standard practice. The blood drains quickly and they die within a few seconds. It sounds horrible if you haven’t seen it done but this is how many (most?) farmers do it.

      I’ve seen aunties grab a chicken by the neck and just spin it around till the head comes off.

      It sounds to me like the guy told the neighbor “stop feeding my birds, I’m going to slaughter them soon”, and the neighbors who had been feeding the birds without permission reported them?

      Anyways. Peacocks are annoying as hell. Preposterously loud.

        One of my neighbors have Peacocks. The rest have dogs. I’ll take Peacocks any day!

        It’s kind of adorable hearing them yell at cars driving by too fast/loud.

          The peacocks I’ve seen are so loud they can be heard at the top of a 25 story condo. I’ve literally seen people sell their condos because of the damn peacocks. Maybe they only have peahens?

            That may be. I can’t actually see them because of a big privacy fence. But I definitely recognize the sound, my grandparents raised them.

            If it was economically feasible, I’d sell my house because of the dogs :/
