I just scattered some old cooked beans out to the birds, and he came in with them. Just saw that Isaiah, our old rooster, ain't skeered of him one bit! He made sure that peacock understood that there were some parameters LOL

I've seen pics of them hanging with flocks of turkey before. Should taste pretty good 
That's the only way I can imagine they could stay alive in the wild in this part of the world. Plenty of predators willing to pick off a big, blue bird.

His display spread doesn't seem quite as grand as some I've seen. Wondering if he is not a very mature male bird.

I called one in turkey hunting one time. He got up to the dekes and strutted around like he was another turkey. A peacock was the last thing on my mind while I was calling.

This may be a REALLY dumb comment but I didnt think those things were really "wild" I thought they were only in zoos and rich people's back yards??? 
They'll go wild, or semi wild. Somebody posted up some awesome pics a year or two ago of a peacock hanging with a flock of turkeys.

My father in law had one come in with a flock of turkeys one morning. Bird actually walked up and poked the end of his shotgun barrel! Looke the father in law over and walked off, never alerting, so figured he was a tame bird.

and mean! Neighbor here in GA had one that would wait by the hedgerow and wait for a car to drive by. If you window was down when he scheeched it would scare the bejeebers out of you...he got me several times.

Yeah, if he roosts up above the coop and screams at me when I go to lock up the coop at night, it'll cost me a pair of shorts!

When turkey hunting ,you can buy peacock calls ..use them for locator calls like a crow call .

Let me tell you, they can make a noise. It comes to me now that some of the threads where folks talked about hearing these screeches, it could easy have been a wild peacock. Sounds like a Wife screeching at the husband about leaving bootprints on the kitchen floor for the tenth time.
