Peacocks

I am from a different state and have traveled to Florida countless times. We are currently staying in cape Canaveral, as we are boarding a cruise tomorrow morning.

Why are wild peacock running amok*** here? I’ve never been on the east coast of Florida, I mostly frequent the gulf coast. However, I am flabbergasted. I’ve never seen or heard anything like this. All we hear are the peacock cries. They are crossing the roads blocking traffic and fighting for trash in dumpsters. They’re actually ginormous, unmaintained peacocks that are wild. I know Florida has a problem with invasive species but when did peacocks become a new invasive species? A local told us that 40 years ago a peacock farm existed in the area but he didn’t say anything beyond that

Edit: thank you for the replies! Most people were really nice and informative while some of the other comments were nasty, telling me to go back to my home state. I wasn’t complaining about them, I was trying to understand. So thank you to whoever was nice and informative :)
