Oh okay, than they are off the list. What about a pheasant with clipped wings?

Turkeys are too big and keets are pretty noisy...does anyone have Guinea Keets? Are they loud?

Where will it sleep? How will it get away from cats, dogs, skunks, raccoons, opossum, etc.?

I have them and they are quite loud.

Well I thought that a pheasant could sleep in a nest box or something...I just thought if we got big ones they may fight off predators...

 

[LeafBlade12345]

Oh. Would close neighbors probably complain to the noise?

We have neighbors separated only by a fence, so we don't want them getting upset...plus the homeowners association is pretty strict here. No chickens, livestock, etc.

Sorry, but I think that you need to build a predator proof shelter that's appropriate for what ever bird you decide to get. None of the birds you mentioned will be safe on the ground at night, period. Coyotes, falcons, hawks? They won't be safe during the day either.

I mean this in a nice way, but sounds like you should stick with animals you're allowed to have.

Wondering, for what purpose are you wanting them? Egg's, pet's or feathered guard bird? I agree with Kathy.. You don't want to start trouble, but if you want a pretty bird, that you will still have to feed get a peacock.. Duck's require fresh water every day & that's just to drink.. You will still need evening housing and a small place for them to swim.. Even if you were to clip wing's on the other bird's you mentioned, you have the issue of food & water & sleeping quarter's.. Why not a parot..
