Wild Peacocks..

[GeoGreyWolf]

A co worker of mine approached me about peacocks/peafowl.. She has wild ones laying nests all over her and her families property.. She joked with me since i started to incubate duck eggs about giving me eggs to incubate. Doing research im not finding much of any laws pertaining to removing, damaging, capturing wild peafowl in Florida.. Does anyone know the laws pertaining to this?

The fastest way to find out your state laws regarding feral peafowl is to contact you local game warden.

i checked FWC for florida here and it lists peafowl as domesticated animals and not wildlife

If you call your local game warden he/she can tell you exactly what you want to know about the feral peafowl.

I don't think they are protected.

They're non-native so I'd think they'd let you capture them.

In general, if the creature has never been indigenous to your state then it is not protected. In Mo. Mountain Lions and Bears were indigenous in the past and are protected. Armadillos have never been indigenous to Mo. thus are not protected.
