So I just got two 7 month old Indian blue peacocks and I have them in a 27 by 8 roofed aviary but I just needed to know if they can survive in their as it is winter and I know I live in Pakistan but here in the northern sides it gets so cold sometimes the water and ponds outside freeze in January so I need some help please
 
You should be fine. What are the lowest temps? I have 3 4month old India Blue peafowl and they are absolutely fine here at night. It is in the 20's - 30's at night here and they are dong fine. Make sure you have a roost that is flat, preferably 4+ inches wide, so that they don't contract frostbite on their toes. A round roost leaves their toes exposed to the cold, while on a flat roost they can sit on their toes and stay warm. You should have straw or hay bedding (shavings is ok, too), and can put a heat lamp on them if desired. My 3 y/o Blue sleeps in a tree every night, on wide branches, even in 0-5 degree F weather, so yours should be fine. Hope this helps!
