Our neighbors had peacocks when I was growing up. The peacocks perched on the hand rail of our entry steps. Pooped all over and created the most horrific screech! Nope, beautiful, but I think I'll pass on owning any!

A small feral colony lives in Socorro, NM. They are the descendants of some peacocks brought to New Mexico Tech decades ago by a professor or administrator.
Despite all the predators, the small flock survives.

I acctually own 5 peafowl! They really compleate a garden, in fact they are the reason I got into gardening! They do peck at plants, but do not destroy most plants. What I like about them is unlike most large birds like chickens and turkeys, they do not scratch as much spareing your grass and such. They eat bugs and put on quite a show that is sure to amaze guests. Some places in the US have wild peafowl, for example Arcadia FL.
