The Peacocks of Cape Canaveral: A Colorful History
by Dave Clark
Cape Canaveral may be known for rockets and cruise ships, but in the heart of the city lives a more unexpected resident: the peacock. Their vibrant feathers and haunting cries have been part of the neighborhood soundscape for over 50 years.
The story goes back to the 1960s, when a local resident named Ruth “The Peacock Lady” Funk brought a small group of peafowl to her property as ornamental birds. Inspired by their beauty and grace, she kept them on her land as part of her private menagerie. Over time, a few escaped—or were set free—and they began to thrive in the area’s warm, subtropical environment.
With no natural predators, ample food, and a surprising ability to adapt to suburban life, the population slowly grew. Today, peacocks are a semi-wild staple in parts of Cape Canaveral, often seen crossing streets, roosting in trees, or calling out with their unmistakable voices.
While not everyone appreciates the early-morning screeches or occasional car-roof scratches, most residents have grown fond of these colorful birds. They’ve become part of the local lore—living symbols
Staying at Canaveral Towers puts you right in the middle of Cape Canaveral’s playful, sun soaked energy. Within a few minutes of your front door, you’ll find quirky attractions, classic Florida adventures, and iconic Space Coast landmarks that turn an ordinary beach trip into a full blown experience. Want something uniquely local? Try your hand at Golf N Gator, where you can putt your way through tropical courses surrounded by real gators, turtles, and birds. It’s part mini golf, part wildlife encounter, and completely unforgettable for families and first timers.
And no visit to the area is complete without a stop at the original Ron Jon Surf Shop—the legendary, 24 hour flagship store that put Cocoa Beach on the map. This isn’t just a surf shop; it’s a sprawling, neon lit temple to beach culture. Wander through aisles of boards, gear, apparel, and souvenirs, or just soak in the atmosphere of a place that’s been a rite of passage for Space Coast visitors for decades.
Beyond the beach, Canaveral Towers is only a short drive from Port Canaveral, one of the busiest cruise ports in the world. Whether you’re hopping on a Caribbean cruise, enjoying fresh seafood at the waterfront restaurants, or watching massive ships glide by, the port adds a lively energy to the area.
For nature lovers, the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is nearby, offering trails, kayaking, and birdwatching in pristine coastal habitats. And if you’re craving a classic Florida vibe, Cocoa Beach — with its surf shops.
