Peacock

[Luv Ducks]

Take care Debby I going to find our Ohio tread I wanted to tell you something.

I get lost easily so don't lose me,

They are fantastically beautiful, and the mute swan don't make a lot of noise, but you will need a fence around your pond. If there is a pond nearby after they eat all the weeds in your pond they may wander to another close by pond. They can eat up to 8 lbs. of weeds a day. I feed mine swan food, soaked corn all kinds of greens, grass. I have another pond full of weeds but haven't found the time to move the fence.

WOW they eat ALOT!! That’s great information. I’ll have to keep that in mind if we ever decide to get some.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I hope he comes back. Maybe if he had a lady friend he'd stick around.

They are hard to find around here unfortunately & I don’t want to pick a sick one up from the auction.

Welcome to BYC, and sorry your peacock has wandered off. Many years ago, I had one wander off. I went door to door and finally found him. So if I were you, I would go door to door, make fliers, put fliers up around the neighborhood & feed stores, go to animal control and fill out a lost pet form, put a lost ad on Craigslist, and maybe join Nextdoor.

Thank you! I have let my close neighbors know.

I’m on the wait list for a female. But they won’t be ready until August. What if I got another male ?

Another male might bring on fights. Some off the keepers here would know for sure in the peafowl threads.

I have also thought about that. The man I got him from had about 15 males in the same pen. So I was kinda going back & fourth with that.

Maybe better for 2 males kept in a pen until females are available.
