One of the Peacocks we saw on our day out.

Wow homebird beautiful

lovely HB we had some living wild in the park but they disappeared one weekend..

Your right they wouldn't fly off, 2 breeding pairs very odd but there was nothing could be done.. the first time i heard their call i though someone was shouting help !! :-)

:):):):) brill and you can "keep an eye on her now " LOL

They do fly away - we saw one on a neighbour's roof last year and nobody in the vicinity kept peacocks. It eventually flew off somewhere else.

They need to be able to fly to get up into trees to roost. I read that the reason their tail feathers get just so long and no longer is a combination of showiness to attract the females balanced by the tails not trailing near the ground where predators can pull them down.
