We found out where Blue hails from, and why residents keep seeing him around the hamlet
Halton Hills has a reputation for being a bird-friendly community. So friendly, in fact, that sightings of an itinerant peacock in Glen Williams suggest avian tourism may be a burgeoning market.
She took to a Georgetown Facebook group, where she posted photos of the encounter and asked if anyone was missing a peacock, much to the surprise and delight of others. But Van Ryn wasn’t the only one in the Glen having an impromptu safari. One resident spotted Blue, as the bird is named, near River and John streets and another person saw him on Tenth Line just this past week.
Glen local Jeff Westwood had a run-in with the peacock on Tenth Line and 22 Sideroad going as far back as February. Much like Van Ryn and the workers at Sheridan Nurseries, Westwood welcomed the pleasant surprise of his new feathered friend. But he was also concerned about him. The run-ins with Blue naturally created a small mystery in the hamlet about where he calls home and why he can just roam freely.
