To think I was so worried after the two days and now it is a week! I see her pecking at the branches at times but how much could she get? Temps are pretty good right now, near 40, but they are plummeting again tonight to 15, Sat night will be single digits again! UGH! I guess the ball's in her court. I feel helpless at this point.Aw man. I don't know how to help then unfortunately
It is likely that something scared her to cause her to fly into the tree the first day. That would not be unusual. Even a dog running towards her would cause that. The thing is, they know when the coast is clear and come down as soon as they can. Except for night roosting, they prefer to be on the ground. None of my peafowl have ever stayed up in a tree for more than a nighttime roost. On top of that, it is winter and they like to roost in the barn when it is cold. Today makes a full week of not coming down. I am not sure how she is surviving without food and water, though I have seen her peck at the branches. I am not sure what she can get out of that.
Thank-you, me, too! I'm hoping she comes back for my birthday tomorrow! It would be the perfect gift!
She could have been chased off by another pea.
