30 Peacocks Die in Florida Town: Neighbors Concerned

In Oakland, Florida, known for its majestic oak trees, residents are also accustomed to the presence of peacocks. These vibrant birds have captured the hearts of the community, with enthusiast Mo Jacobson even giving them names and acting as their caretaker.

However, a troubling trend has emerged in Deer Island, a gated community within Oakland. Residents have reported finding deceased peacocks scattered on the grounds, sparking worry and prompting social media posts sharing images of the fallen birds.

Mo Jacobson, affectionately dubbed “The Peacock Lady,” has been flooded with messages from concerned individuals about the deaths. Initially informed of 12 fatalities in January, she was shocked to hear the number had risen to a staggering 30 just a week later. What’s most unsettling is that peacocks are not usually prone to diseases, leaving the cause of their mysterious deaths a puzzle.

While it remains uncertain if any official investigations are underway, Jacobson is determined to unravel the mystery behind these vanishing peacocks. She pledges to dig deeper and uncover the truth behind this puzzling situation.
