They will eat them for sure in my opinion unless you train them.

Nearly any type of domesticated fowl will clean out an entire garden in very short time if left alone to it, especially if there are vegetables or other things they like. Can you fence in your garden so they don't have access or put up some netting around the flower boxes?

Can you take some pictures of your area, we can give better feedback if we can see the layout and how it is setup.

Keeping them away from something you would have to make it so they associate with something bad. For example, a person chasing them constantly when they step foot in there might work. My ducks I would chase off the porch and yell at them. They know to stay off of the porch.

these a two pics, i'll do more tomorrow. thew garden is all fenced from the fields and into the garden the is another fence in wich live two tibetan goats and there is the aviary of the peafowls...but they flied out and stayed all day into the part of the garden with flowers. Actually bird were bought to decor the cultivated part.......i can't cut their wings because i have a lot of problems with foxes so they need to fly up the trees or the house when they're out of the aviary

i used to wet them with water everytime they did something but when i was at work no one controlled them so they did everything they wanted and i coulnd't close them everyday because they never came back into the aviary
