Peacocks Gone Wild In Small Eastern WA Town

You'll see a new kind of traffic sign if you get off the highway in the town of Union Gap, WA this summer.


The signs recently went up to alert drivers about a group of wild peacocks that has been darting into the roadway, backing up traffic and occasionally damaging cars with their claws.

Apparently Union Gap has a history of wild peacocks but the birds have gotten a little unruly lately. KBOI has the story.
