What is a peacock's favorite snack?

[FluffyFaverolles]

from the experiences i’ve had feeding wild peafowl, i know that they really like grapes! good luck

My treat suggestions are meal worms, pumpkin cut into big pieces leaving seeds in, frozen watermelon in hot weather, grapes (which I cut into halves or quarters, and cat chow.

Oh I'm going all out. I'm even writing the peacock, named Penrose, a card. As in, Dear Penrose, please accept my sincere apologies for the unacceptable behavior of my pitiful canine.

You are fantastic. I wish people would bring my peacock gift baskets when they scare him. Yes, bananas are a favorite as are blueberries, pomegranate seeds, raw sunflower seeds, and kale. If their owner feeds him processed food then fresh treats would be best for him.

Thank you!

Should the sunflower seeds be shelled?

They also like dry cat food... the small pieces like kitten food and it’s good protein

Not necessarily, the shells are a source of fiber.

It doesn't matter either way

The peacocks that live here love blackberries...

I have eight peafowl, one male and seven females. They are free roaming. I have a variety of foods out, as I am also accomodating doves and squirrels and even voles. And common wild birds of course. So, I have been experimenting for a long time. They quite enjoy dove food. Kaytee Supreme Dove Food seems to be their favorite (I don't work for them, I promise). I add dried mealworms for extra protein, and a no mess bird seed blend without shells that has sunflower seeds, millet, and peanuts. They really like peanuts. If I throw out salad, they go for the carrot shreds first. Anyway, I'm not an expert, but they seem to be happy and healthy!
