In our neighborhood in Vero Beach FL we have a resident pair that strolls through the yards. They will walk right up to you and are very friendly....... until they are teaching their chicks to forage. As I was walking towards my garden and 50 ft from the family daddy walked quickly towards me in a threatening way. I was inside the chicken wire fast and he paced back and forth for 10 minutes as I pulled weeds. He left after realizing I was no threat. They're in my yard every day. What great parents they are. My fav. Right next to penguins.
