Peacocks Stand Guard Over Do Little Farm’s Shadowed Past
Urban sprawl consumes the old Seele Do Little Farm north of Overland Drive leaving eight peacocks and their descendants as the last livestock. Neighbors Lexie Grob Gene Bean and Nita Redmond describe the birds as a calming, if noisy, link to a bygone rural era while coping with garden damage and late- hour calls. The birds occupy 100 acres of the original 90-acre Seele homestead, tended by Lexie and Gar Grob amid resident complaints and animal control notes.
