San Antonio City Council looks to ramp up protections for wild peacocks

Members of San Antonio City Council have filed paperwork necessary to bring new protections for the city's wild bird population before the whole body. District 7 Councilwoman Marina Alderete Gavito on Tuesday filed a Council Consideration Request (CCR) to begin discussing new protections for birds including wild peacocks. CCRs, which must be approved by five members, are a significant first step in getting a measure to a vote before the whole council.
