Default Peacock attacked my car in Arcadia = PDR

Hey guys, its been a long time since i've been on the forums.

Today I was in Arcadia, and had my car parked at my friends driveway, and a stupid peacock saw its own reflection and attacked my car.

It used its beak and pecked at my car put a Ding in my passenger door, and claw scratches on my driver side.

*sigh, im so sad*

I need some good recommendations on PDR (Paintless Dent Removal) around the area.

How much would 1 ding the size that a bird pecking would make, typically cost to get PDR done?


Thanks guys.

Here are some pics for those who want to see that bird =_____=.

OH and its not the Lexus LOL! forgot to mention that.

Lol

i remember someone telling me killing one in Arcadia is a federal offense. I've lived here since I was 7 and always see them near the arboritum just walking around and stopping traffic.

You should yelp paintless dent removal.. That site is very helpful when you need to find info like that. I'm sure any bodyshop can do it too

Yep...my wife used to work for the City of Arcadia and she did tell me the same thing. It's illegal to kill them, but, I don't know about it being a federal offense.

That just sucks though for you man. Good luck! If you find a PDR place, do share. I'm looking for one too.

Oh yeah...and the Peacock isn't on the official city logo for nothing. There are signs throughout showing that these monsters are protected. Ridiculous!

sorry to hear that happen to you. one was approaching my car near the mall, which is directly across the street from the arboretum....needless to say, i hauled *** and bailed before it got near it. they roam around the neighborhoods often, sometimes parking themselves right in the middle of the street. when you try to go around them, they seem to wanna "play" and move in that same direction.

as for the offense, they are a rare species. i mean its not like they're all over the place like an opossum, although when they get run over, they do tend to go ALL OVER THE PLACE. im still waiting for a day when those peacocks turn on cop cars and start pecking at them....lets see what those cops will do then!

LOL same thing happened to my friends fully modded BMW E90. Yours isn't as bad as his though. The peacocks attacked the right side of his car and left dents on both doors and his fenders.
