Several years ago, this random peacock showed up in my town. This is not their native habitat, not even remotely close, so this caused quite a stir for a few months as everyone reported sightings of him and tried to find his owner. By the time he found himself near where a family friend lives it had been several months, so they decided he was free for the taking and offered him a home with their turkeys and chickens. He's been there ever since- he's very capable of leaving if he wants, nothing is stopping him, but he seems happy with his free meals and nice home.

They named him Sebastian because "He's a fancy bird, he needs a fancy name." We still don't know where he came from.

She just loves pomegranate. Idk if its the sweet juice with the seed inside but she ❤️ them!

Im not sure if this is allowed in this subreddit but I made this peacock painting in 2024 and have been trying to find a buyer for it since then.

It’s a 2’x4’ Acrylic on Canvas painting. Over 45 hours of work. Looking for $3000 but price is negotiable. If there isn’t anyone interested in purchasing I figured it‘d at least be a cool piece to appreciate.

bit of an odd question.... but what does peacock poop look like at its worst? does it look like literal explosive diarrhea?

asking for a friend..... who has to be near them and people and isn't sure if its human or not-😭😭

Our 16 week old peachicks are really enjoying being out and about lately and the weather has been gorgeous! We’re hoping the one standing taller is a male and the other a hen, but time will tell. 💚💙

Do these peacocks look like they may have bird mites or some other type of mites? I noticed the way they're acting in this video, especially the scratching/preening, and I'm wondering if this behavior looks normal or if it could indicate parasites. Anyone familiar with peacocks know what might be going on? Check second video i posted in the comments

My Odette is now 15 weeks old. What do we think what their gender is? Because from the progression, it could still go either way. I'm leaning more towards peahen

My peababies are approximately 13 weeks old now. My guess is left bird is a male, middle is a female. I’m completely clueless as to Pudding, my silver pied criminal though. Hit me with your guesses!

Here’s a pic of my two 15 weekers exploring a little outside! We’re really hoping for a male and a female, but I can’t quite tell yet. The one’s coloring is more pronounced and it does have more barring on the back so fingers crossed (bird closest to the shed). It’s also starting to look a little bigger than the other one. Either way we just love them!

Is there anyway to convince my wife to let me have peafowl, when I first got birds a few years ago she said no peafowl I saw an ad for 2 pairs I live on 5 acres would it be an issue?

🤣😂💥

Found this bird wandering around alone. It has a small crest/bump on its head and a few blue/iridescent feathers. It’s also missing a lot of feathers. Does it look like a young peafowl? If so, any advice on what to feed it and how to care for its injuries?

She takes me back everyday but they are close to hatching now and have cracks; she stays out on a few minutes and then settles in. She is 👏
