I know that security is a bit of a show and its really more of a deterant, but I was wondering realistically how I could prevent someone breaking and entering a small-ish American home? What is actually effective?

    I think peacocks might be louder but vocalize less frequently. That means you’d have to live with peacocks, though. They’re awful. You can hear their loudest cries up to a couple of kilometres away.

      oh hell no they don’t make good guard birds. geese are good guard birds they honk for honks sake. peacocks try to make love to the chrome on your car. there’s always the one rich dude in town who thinks he’s rich enough to tame peafowl and suddenly your town is overrun with cock.

        Some person has them in the wealthy neighbourhood and their peacocks/peafowl flew away.
        One came to our office balcony (about 20m high) for a visit. :D
        Was also in the local newspaper.

        But no one is going to steal my car if they have to fight the three peacocks that are trying to fuck it.

          it’s not about protecting your car. your car’s a piece of shit smart car, stupid brother in law. no one is going to steal that anyways. it’s about protecting the single rock on your property that you decided to place there. the plastic rock. the hollow plastic rock with a little slot on the bottom for a key. with your front door key in it. If they’re distracted trying to fuck your car, who’s going to protect the rock? You either need geese or sheep. Maybe meese.
