You could have peahens for a while and then think about getting a peacock. I am sure you could just keep around one peacock and it would be fine and you could just sell the male peachicks to keep the noise level down.

Thanks, MinxFox, that's a great suggestion. I may try getting a trio. Maybe if there's just one peacock and he isn't separated from his peahens, he won't need to squawk as much.

Peafowl are popular here. There was an item in yesterday's local paper, in fact! A pair of peafowl got away from a local owner who had just gotten them (guess they weren't used to their new home yet), and while they found the peahen shortly after, the peacock was missing for days. A school teacher found him and clipped his wings, and put him in the school's enclosed courtyard where all the kids could see him from their classroom windows, and the janitor could put out poultry feed and water for him. They tracked down the owner and the bird was reunited with his owners and his mate yesterday.

Gotta wonder if that peacock was "OhWOWing" in the courtyard while the kids were trying to pay attention to their lessons?

If there was a peacock outside a window at my school, I would never pay attention, I would always be looking out the window!

When mine start making noise I go out and call Hello!! and they talk back. It always makes me smile.
