He is certainly the best-dressed visitor to the “green yard waste” drop-off depot on Henry Rd., since the humans tend to arrive in their gardening clothes. And this peacock is a regular visitor, shrieking advice to people dumping their clippings. He has been coming around for a couple of years, and staff at the depot believe he lives at a nearby house, that he is a neighbour. He is a pushy peacock neighbour, occasionally walking right into the drop-off area to nibble at insects or plants (although he is careful to get out of the way when vehicles approach). And he is a nosey neighbour, who has been known to walk right into the shop. “He’s a pretty friendly guy,” one staffer said. The depot, operated by the Town of Gibsons for the SCRD, is open every day, 8am-4pm, except statutory holidays at 915 Henry Rd. The peacock, however, comes and goes as he pleases. LOUISE HERLE PHOTO
