[QUOTE="Keren, post: 394625, member: 3195"] Actually peacocks can be pretty useful around the farm. Apart from cleaning up like msscamp mentioned, they are really good at attacking snakes, and they work well for our situation because when the does are kidding they tend to scream bloody murder - peacocks don't like their environment being upset so they scream bloody murder too. Between the both of them, we can get up in the night to assist the birth (if need be). If you want them to stick around, get them in a shed and lock them up with feed for three or four months. They will generally stay around after that. As far as protection goes, you just have to make sure they roost high enough in a tree - occassionally you may have to lift one up for the first few nights in a new place until they get the idea.
