I swear the Monroe zoo sucks so bad. If it's not pitbulls breaking in and killing the animals it's crap like this.

The best part though:

According to Monroe Chief Operations Officer Jimmie Bryant, the attack was a result of mating season, and the bird could have thought the child was in a mating position.

"We don't think the kid was agitating it," Media Coordinator Rod Washington said. "He just so happened to be in the area. We offered our apologies to the mother, and she was appreciative. The zoo director called her directly. She said her family will be back out at the zoo. It's just an unfortunate situation. "

Baldwin said her son is not to blame and it was just a freak accident.

"I have no ill feelings about the zoo. We'll be back out there," she said. "I'm not blaming the peacock or the zoo. It's just one of those things that happened."


Kudos to the mom for not trying to get a payday out of this

"We're taking a couple of precautions to start putting the male peacocks up in the mating season," he said. "That runs from March to June. We'll probably put up some signage as well."


What will the signs say?

"Do not assume the peacock mating position"

"Please Do Not Shake Your Tailfeathers"

From what I remember at Audubon Zoo...we (obnoxious little kids) chased those poor birds so much, I wouldn't be surprised if they snapped on some other unsuspecting kid.

No, she is a teacher. Dad works at the paper mill. My wife and kids were at the zoo the day before and the peacock was going after my son because he was eating a hot dog. And later the peacock bit the finger of another kid. That bird has done gone crazy.
