Re: peafowl anyone?

My friend has a varying flock of 15 - 50 and they hang around the house as well as exploring the forests. There is no more evidence of their presence than a garden flock of chickens

That is something good to hear. I did wonder if the garden would become their picnic area.

I have to admit I have not read the book we sell on peacocks so can't help at all there
:~)
They ARE beautiful when they are displaying
They DO eat herbaceous borders
Not much of a problem for me. The chooks destroyed all the petunias so I think I'll replant with roses this winter.

They take a number of years to come into plumage - and are pretty drab before then
They DO love to sit on the house and make one heck of a racket
Go on

Thanks Jill. Now I just have to convince hubby. Sitting on the house roof may prove a problem as we collect and drink our rainwater, not being on mains here. Can they be detered or will surrounding tall trees offer better roosting?
