My Pea fowl are tame I have four Peacocks and four Peahens. I like having them around as they keep my roosters in line and let out one hell of a racket when anyone drives in the yard. Here is a picture with my 15 Z from three years ago. The Peacocks like to show off for Corvettes.

Not concerned one might decide to duke it out w/ the car leaving beaucoup scratches?
Used to take care of my pal's peacocks when he was out of town.
He was very firm warning me to keep an eye on my Z when I was over. His docile peacocks would find exception w/ their reflection, attack.

One thing I learned surprised the bajebbers outa me, just how delicious peacock eggs are. Truly sorry he got rid of his flock, loved those eggs fried.

They like to roost on tractors and other vehicles. I never leave my good cars and trucks unattended. They stay in the barns and garage. I always have two or three everyday cars setting in the drive they can roost on
