What is a peacock's favorite snack?

I have eight peafowl, one male and seven females. They are free roaming. I have a variety of foods out, as I am also accomodating doves and squirrels and even voles. And common wild birds of course. So, I have been experimenting for a long time. They quite enjoy dove food. Kaytee Supreme Dove Food seems to be their favorite (I don't work for them, I promise). I add dried mealworms for extra protein, and a no mess bird seed blend without shells that has sunflower seeds, millet, and peanuts. They really like peanuts. If I throw out salad, they go for the carrot shreds first. Anyway, I'm not an expert, but they seem to be happy and healthy!
Welcome to the forum! One word of caution, feeding wild birds with the peas can invite Avian Influenza. There are risks to everything and if I could free range all of my birds I would. It is glorious to watch them walking about the property living free as God intended.
