Pasadena postal worker peacock assault investigation

Overview

In Pasadena, California, a U.S. Postal Service worker is under investigation following an alleged assault on a local white peacock named Sugar. Video footage emerged showing the mail carrier chasing the bird, spraying it with a liquid, throwing an object, and striking the animal with a stick, including a blow to the head.

While initial reports indicated the bird was left injured and unable to stand, subsequent updates from Pasadena Humane state that Sugar is recovering well. Although the peacock suffered swelling and minor wounds, X-rays confirmed there were no broken bones, and the animal is reported to be alert and eating normally.

The U.S. Postal Service has stated it is reviewing the incident to gather facts, emphasizing that employees are expected to maintain professional conduct. The agency noted that postal workers in the area have had previous encounters with local peacocks and have been collaborating with Pasadena Humane to manage such concerns.
