Was it fowl play?

A peacock that had been a staple in a California neighborhood for years was found shot dead — after someone posted a Craigslist ad taking out a hit on the bird, local reports said.

The online posting went up on June 13, a little more than two weeks before the peacock — nicknamed Mr. P or Azul — was apparently killed in Humboldt County, The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.

"It’s really sad because he probably suffered for at least two or three hours before he died, possibly more," resident Melissa Glass told the newspaper.

Glass said that "One of the neighbor’s daughters had actually recalled seeing a Craigslist ad in search of a peacock assassin."
