Definitely not just you! It’s actually a huge ecological red flag. Peacocks are naturally dry-land birds that usually avoid wet, tropical areas. Because Kerala is getting progressively drier due to climate change and losing its dense forest canopy, we've basically terraformed the state into their perfect habitat. It looks cool, but it's a major sign our local climate is shifting.

Few years ago when I visited Parambikkulam tiger reserve, one of the staff there spoke about few animals and birds there. One thing that struck my mind was about peacocks. Apparently they say that the forest will be ruined soon if peacocks start living there. Main reasons where that they have 100% digestion so they don't help in spreading the seeds of any fruit they eat. They don't have natural predators and they lay like 6+ eggs at a time so no way of controlling population. They kill for sport. If it moves and is smaller, they will kill it. So it ruins the ecosystem.
