You will need to rehome him at least 6 miles away because otherwise he will return to you as he has imprinted on you. New owners should lock him up for a while anyway but most people don’t understand this.
It is only a problem in mating season when they have their tail feathers. He will become docile again when his hormones go and they go when the feathers go.
I had one just like yours 20 years ago who imprinted in his mind that I was either a peahen needing to be mounted. Or a competitor to be attacked. It was difficult for a couple of months every year
If you could build him an enclosure …….! I have 3 males and only 5 females so this time of year I have to separate the boys and because I now carry a stick, they no longer treat me like a beautiful peahen
I expect that you have sorted it by now tho.
