A historic Art Deco hotel in Northern California’s Sacramento Delta is scrambling to figure out what happened to dozens of its resident peacocks and peahens—birds that were as much a part of the property’s charm as its architecture. No one’s sure yet if they wandered off, were stolen, or something else entirely, but their sudden disappearance has left staff and regulars baffled.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about missing birds—it’s about the loss of a quirky, living landmark. Peacocks have been a signature feature of this hotel for years, drawing visitors and adding character to the place. Their disappearance raises questions about animal safety, local wildlife protection, and whether someone might have targeted them. For the community, it’s like losing a piece of local identity.
