How To Keep Peafowls, Peacocks And Peahens

Peacocks…. Aren’t they beautiful? We have neighbors that raise them. At the moment one of the females has several babies following along behind. She is such a good mommy. They grow up quickly…but they are such fun to watch.

They have the run of the entire place in a fenced in yard. Perfect surroundings to live in. Over the past few mornings we have awoken to several of them visiting our backyard. Though we enjoy them being here I always chase them back to their own home so they won’t get out by the road and get hit by a car. All I have to do is clap my hands and they scurry back to their own home……. They take flight for only a moment to get over the fence.

Peafowl is the term used for peacocks and peahens, they are members of the pheasant family. Most people use the term peacock incorrectly, The peacock is actually only the male bird… and the female is call a peahen, the babies are called peachicks. It is sort of like chickens, the male is referred to as the rooster or cock and the female is known as the hen.. and of course their babies are chicks.

Breeding or mating season is such a display. The male will show off his beautiful body to attract the very best mate possible. Below is a video of the male as well as the female showing off.

You really don’t need a whole lot of space to raise peafowl but you do need some. These magnificent creatures needs space to not only show off their beautiful plumage but also to strut their stuff.

I am sure that you have heard the term.. ” Proud as a Peacock”…… Just watching these beautiful birds for a few minutes you will know exactly what that term means. The peacock is the National bird of India.
