I would like them for pet purposes though it would be nice to get some eggs. I actually think Keets are pretty cute...will they leave the yard and come back if I feed them every night? They seem pretty predator tolerant.

I think peacocks are too big...we do have a pond for ducks but I don't want them eaten...

Guinea fowl are the loudest of all poultry.

Why not an indoor pet? I think you should get some kind of indoor pet, and for food purposes, make a nice garden.

When you think birds, you are getting prey animals. Prey animals get eaten by predators.

Of course, I'm just thinking that maybe some birds are more predator safe. I know that none will ever be completely safe. We have a veggie garden and we don't want the birds for food. Just as pets

The loudest birds here are my guineas. Peafowl are also very noisy, but the guineas will drive your neighbors crazy!

I think that maybe if the guenias were free range they could just fly off and come back at night. That way they wouldn't be around to bother the neighbors and if they just flew around the homeowner's association couldn't say that they were ours and not let us have them.

Is there a fence around you garden, potted plants flower beds etc? Birds love that stuff, lol.

How bad are the peafowl? Are they super loud? Also, are they free range or do they have their wings clipped?

If you live in a HOA, your yard is too small for peafowl. They need a lot of space.
