there's someone on my regular cycle route that has a peacock, I see it in their driveway occasionally

it is not a farm, or appear to be particularly wealthy

it is semi-rural though

there is a guy on the southeast side of the city here, where it's pretty rural that has a kangaroo for a pet, or at least they did 7-ish years ago. dunno if they still have it or not, or even how long kangaroos typically live
