Peacock

[Louleybug]

Hello, I’m a fairly new peacock owner. I live on 20 acres with a lot of other farm animals. My peacock is about 12 months old. He’s been locked up in his adult cage for 3 months & did great. I wanted to free range him along with my chickens. about 2 months ago I let him out. He’s done great, up until today. We had a scare about a month ago when he disappeared. I found him up in a tree. He came down the next day. Today when I left for work he was in the yard. When I got home he was no where to be found!!! Help will he come back ? Did I do something wrong? He loves it here. I don’t see why he would run away. Him & my pigs are best friends!! He’s very missed. Any suggestions welcome.

Hello and Welcome to BYC!
I've never raised peacocks but have seen them on ranches where it was normal for them to roost in trees like wild turkeys. One rancher in FL had a peacock that roosted with a flock of wild turkeys in his backyard. Long time ago.

Welcome!
I really hope he shows back up but there is no guarantee he's going to.

Hi, and welcome. I hope he comes back! I don’t know any special tricks about calling peacocks home, but if it was a duck i would be out there around sunset calling for him and shaking a canister of treats… also leave an outdoor light on

My heart is broken!! Do you think he’s out looking for a mate ?

No you did great! We can usually help with most questions however you can get more detailed help by posting in certain forums. I tagged a couple of members, hopefully they stop by here soon. They both keep Peas.
