Decrow

[IBBS]

I have only one peacock, but i live in an suburban zone and im having problems with my neighbours, so i did some research and find that roosters can be decrowed, and i want to know if anyone here has done that with a peacock. A decrowed rooster still can do his call, and they do it constantly (it is a prove that it doesn't hurt to them the surgery or they wouldn't try to make no sounds), and has no problem with the breeding season.
I dont want to silence my peacock, just make him more quiet (with no harm, no pain or discomfort, like the rooster that have this surgery), have happy neighbours and be able to keep my pet

Usually it is a good idea to ask neighbors before you get a peacock if they are okay with it because some people don't appreciate the noise.

While this surgery may have been done on roosters, it doesn't seem to have been done on peacocks and there were complications with some of the roosters as in they died from this surgery. A peacock probably puts a lot of stress on his vocal chords making a peacock call so there is no telling if he would hurt himself trying to call. Since you just have a peacock that is probably why he is calling a lot - he is calling for a peahen. If you have a peahen he might make less noise, but that isn't a guarantee and he will still certainly call. As the above article says if your neighbors can't deal with the noise you can either move or look into getting some other kind of colorful bird that does not make loud noises.

Roosters call ALL the day and night, and they put a lot of stress on his vocal chords doing their call, so i think its a similar case.

So anyone knows anybody that has done this before? It would be very interesting to know, not only so i can solve my problem, also for curiosity!

So far we don't know of anyone who has had this done to their peacock.

I think this has been done...Stromberg's has a book on peafowl still available from them, been out some 25 + yrs and I think the instructions to do devoicing and info on that is in this book. I cant find my copy now. ( had one of the first printed as a gift from them for sending in a article to be included in the book ) might check their for info in that . connerhills

Thank you connerhills

, would be awsome having information about this subject, i found the book on the internet, but before buying it i would like to know if it is usefully information!

IBBS .. Hmmmmm Yes ,it has some and a lot of experiences by people which is good also. Remember this was a long time ago and not many people had any info or would not share much of it.. I would recommend getting the book as it also has some info about Jack Sieple that started the Sieple pattern in black shoulder and some stuff from older people that raised peafowl at that time. A new book out by Stephanie Tindell email [email protected],net a better info book , tell her George sent you . connerhills
