Hello!
Seeking advice from those experienced with peacocks—have lived among them for a long time but know nothing with regard to their care. I live in a suburban neighborhood that has a hundred-year-old community of wild peacocks that coexist rather peacefully with the neighborhood. Today discovered a peahen who has been visiting my roof frequently has laid eggs there and is sitting on them.
Unsure what to do/how to proceed. Roof is over 10 feet high and not sure how chicks will get down when they hatch. Worried about the mother being able to get food and about other birds snatching the eggs, but doesn't seem wise to move them. Does anyone have advice on the right course of action for this wild peahen and her chicks?
All insight welcome. Thank you!
