Peacock

Welcome to BYC! I'm so sorry about your peacock. I've never had them, but my neighbor does. Hers occasionally come over for a visit. They'll roam around our neighborhood for a while, but they always return home... eventually. She has one female who has a habit of taking a day or so to make her way back to the pen. So don't lose hope, maybe your bird will show up in the yard tomorrow. :hugs

My heart is broken!! Do you think he’s out looking for a mate ?

A yearling is not going to be looking for a mate, he is too young to care about icky girls. He is probably on a walkabout and will come home soon, that is where the food and friends are. If he gets turned around the familiar sounds of your home will attract him. In the meantime put out a few feelers on local social media to be on the lookout. Post notes at the local feed stores. I would hope that no one would 'save' the lost peacock by locking him up.

I was just reading about peacocks and it said to keep them from flying away you should give them a safe place to be, shower them with love and care and that you can clip one wing just as I do my ducks to keep them from flying off. If he returns you could possibly try that. l

Clipping a wing on a pea is never a good idea. If attacked by a predator it will have more difficulty trying to get away to safety. You won't be able to keep them in a fence even if they are clipped.

Sorry about the clipping of the wing. I was thinking it was in an enclosure like I have my ducks where they are still safe from predators but yet could fly if they wanted to. I did not realize the setup and I know they have to have a lot of room. Now that someone has said it is not a good idea to clip the wing because of not being able to get away from a predator and they roam a much larger area I get it.
