26 peacocks available?

According to our story today, La Canada Flintridge is "thinning out" its peacock population. Before anyone gets too upset about that, it turns out that they are not planning to shot the birds on sight, but rather trap them and take them somewhere else. The city estimates they have 40, and have decided to cut the population to 14.

My question, though, is where do they go? You can't release them into the "wild." Does this mean they are just going to dump them on some unsuspecting animal sanctuary? Or maybe drive them into Arcadia in the middle of the night and leave them with that flock. They may be a little more appreciated there- the signs in that neighborhood actually advertises their local peacock herd, which I do enjoy gawking at when I bike by.

I'm not sure I would want to live near them though:

"They are loud. They disrupt our sleep. They leave their fecal matter all over our yard," resident Lisa Phelan, 42, said of the mother peahen and her flock that took up residence in her yard last year.

She and other residents have complained to city officials that the handsome birds squawk loudly, attack cars and use patios and yards as restrooms.
