    Peahen vs peacock as friend for existing peacock

    Thank you for all the advice! I’ve looked locally and found a 6 yo peacock who has free ranged his whole life and a pair of 4yo peacocks who are currently penned, and am trying to decide which would be the best option. Understand I would need to monitor their personalities and it’s hard to tell...

    Peahen vs peacock as friend for existing peacock

    Makes a lot of sense! When I moved on to my property, this peacock and his mate were already there. There was also a younger male who eventually flew away when he got his feathers. The hen was aged and recently passed so I’m trying to figure out the best replacement but I feel like since he’s...

    Peahen vs peacock as friend for existing peacock

    Hello I have a free ranging peacock who recently lost his peahen mate. He is completely free range, he lived on the property before me. I feed him a bit but mostly he forages himself and then roosts in the trees at night. I’m trying to decide whether to get him another peahen or a few peacocks...
