3. Magnificent Peacocks – Palos Verdes Peninsula
California’s Palos Verde Peninsula is a beautiful location, but it is filled with peacocks! More than 1,000 peacocks live in the Rolling Hills Estates neighbourhood. A former resident brought the original flock with him from India, and the population has exploded over the years. They are also protected and if someone harms the birds, they have to pay a fine of $200,000.
