Yes, peafowls, including peacocks and peahens, are capable of short, low flights. They use their wings to glide and gain some height, but they are not strong fliers and prefer to spend most of their time on the ground.

Wild Peacocks
  • Wild peacocks are ground foragers. They thrive on a variety of insects and plants along with the occasional small creature. Surprisingly, peacocks have a taste for snakes, including poisonous ones, and have been known to follow their slithering prey for entertainment before eating them.

    Wild peacocks that roam grounds bordering farms, ranches and preserves are often supplemented with game-bird feed and cracked corn. These grains can also be found at feed stores to feed domesticated peacocks. Keep in mind when allowing wild peacocks into open areas of personal property that they will eat anything with bright colors, especially white, regardless of whether it is edible or garbage.

Domesticated Peacocks
  • Domesticated peacocks are pampered in the fact that they do not have to work hard for their meals. The household peacock still eats insects and plants and enjoys additions of cat food, bread, cheese and cooked rice. Flower gardens are in constant danger around peacocks; not only do they eat the flowers searching for bugs, they eat them when they are bored. Peacocks also enjoy the grubs that are found in vegetable gardens, often grazing on the green lawns along the way.

Are peacocks cute and easy to raise?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not really, since they are born to stay away from predators. However, all birds have a similar trait of considering the first moving thing they see is their parent, which usually is true, excepts in different cases, where the first thing a peachick sees is a human. In this case, the peacock or peahen would like the human.

How does a peacock give birth to a small peacock video?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Peacocks are the males of the species so they dont give birth at all, the peahen (or peafowl) will lay an egg like any normal bird. I'm assuming that this question is as a result of hearing that "whos the owner of the peacocks egg?" trick question.I found that rather confusing aswell, because you dont immeadiately recall that the peacock has a different name to the female, unlikea robin or a sparrow for instance.
