Peafowls predator alert call?

[MsCannaBass]

Is a Peafowls predator alert call when they honk & then go into a short call kind of like "he hawww" noise?

No, when a predator call is issued they run for cover.

What does their alert call sound like? I believe they do a honk 1st right?

Here the sound when the females have seen something that scares them.

Yes that's the noise I'm talking about

 

[KsKingBee]

That's not it.

That's not it.

So that's not their alert call?
We have lots of them here where I live but I just moved in a few months ago & I'm learning all this. I've noticed our peafowl make some noises I havent heard on the peafowl videos on YouTube.
But I know different peafowl flocks can have calls unique to that flock.

It's a short guttural call, when you see them scatter for cover it was the call just before that. Here, the eagles and hawks will make them stare at the sky and make them pay great attention but usually don't make them run. It is when one of the birds of prey sneaks up on them that they get scared and run for cover.

I have seen a great example on YouTube of a hen and chicks free ranging when a hawk comes along the hen made the alert sending the chicks into the brush and she actually flew off after the hawk. I'll see if I can find it.

Here it is. Listen to the low guttural noise just before the chicks scatter, she makes it twice in the video.
