Quiet Peafowl, Anybody interested???

I love the noises they make. We have learned what their various calls mean. In the evening our two cocks like to go out for a stroll. To call them for evening feeding and to come in for the night I will call "HEEEEERRE PEACOCKS". Usually after a few tries I will hear them answering me. I would never seriously consider devoicing a rooster, or a peacock. They need their voices to communicate in a free range environment, for a number of reasons. IOur neighbors have told us they love to hear them too. Only time I wish they'd shut up is when they stand on our front porch and use it for an echo chamber....

I love the sounds of my peafowl & my wife can imitate them which really gets'em talking....sounds like i'm in the jungle. She learned to make the sound of a hen turkey this spring, she got so good at it that one of our toms was really starting to like her....alot.

An animal that is not used primarily for work, food, breeding or sold for monetary gain. The value (emotional) of the animal is greater to the owner than actual market value of the animal.

My peafowl and turkeys definitely qualify as pets!

I love your definition of pets. Can I quote you? That makes all my animals pets.

That's Green Pea, and right now, as I type, she's waiting at the backdoor to come in. She likes to sit on the back of the couch and watch TV with me. P-Dawg, one of my yearling boys used to go everywhere with me. The folks at TSC got a kick out of him perched on the cart while I did my shopping, and the looks I got while driving, priceless!

There is nothing like a tame pea that will follow you around. They are so fun!

Great picture.

Me too. Is that why I spent $260.00 at the vet's for one of my roos?

I think most people who have peas now is because we can....and we love the noise.....I have 40+ and breeding season is the only time they really get stirred up.
However their are many people that would love to have them but can't because of the noise....
If the procedure works like it does on roos then their is.still noise.....just much much softer.
I think the name should be changed from Decrowing to Volume reducing roosters.....lol.....to avoid confusion.
And anyone willing to pay for a.procedure must really really want a.peafowl...so I don't think it would be abused too much.
