These birds are highly sociable and make fascinating companions. Mr Pea, who we inherited when we moved in here, loved sweet corn and clomped around on the roof with what sounded like hob-nail boots on. Unfortunately a dog caught him by the tail and killed him. Now a neighbour's flock visits, especially when it's raining. They hunker down on the verandah and peer in the windows at us.
