PEACOCKS ARE NOT INDIGENOUS TO AMERICA. PEAFOWL ARE TWO ASIATIC AND ONE AFRICAN SPECIES OF FLYING BIRD IN GENUS PAVO OF THE PHEASANT FAMILY. 

THE MALE (PEACOCK) INDIAN PEAFOWL HAS IRIDESCENT BLUE-GREEN OR GREEN COLORED PLUMAGE. THE PEACOCK TAIL (TRAIN) IS NOT THE TAIL QUILL FEATHERS BUT THE HIGHLY ELONGATED UPPER TAIL (COVERT FEATHERS). THE EYES ARE BEST SEEN WHEN THE PEACOCK FANS IT'S TAIL. BOTH SPECIES HAVE A CREST ON TOP OF THE HEAD. THE FEMALE HAS A MIXTURE OF DULL GREEN, BROWN AND GRAY IN HER PLUMAGE. ALTHOUGH SHE LACKS THE LONG UPPER TAIL COVERTS OF THE MALE, SHE HAS A CREST. THE FEMALE ALSO DISPLAYS HER PLUMAGE TO WARD OFF FEMALE COMPETITION OR SIGNAL DANGER TO HER YOUNG. THE GREEN PEAFOWL APPEARS DIFFERENT FROM THE INDIAN PEAFOWL. THE MALE HAS A GREEN AND GOLD PLUMAGE WITH AN ERECT HEAD CREST. THE WINGS ARE BLACK WITH A SHEEN OF BLUE. UNLIKE THE INDIAN PEAFOWL, THE FEMALE IS SIMILAR TO THE MALE, ONLY HAVING SHORTER UPPER TAIL COVERTS AND LESS IRIDESCENCE. 

PEAFOWL ARE FOREST BIRDS THAT NEST ON THE GROUND BUT ROOST IN TREES. THEY ARE TERRESTRIAL FEEDERS. ALL PEAFOWL ARE BELIEVED TO BE POLYGAMOUS. HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT GREEN PEAFOWL ARE REALLY MONOGAMOUS IN THE WILD.

PEAFOWL ARE OMNIVOROUS AND EAT MOST PLANT PARTS, FLOWER PETALS, SEED HEADS, INSECTS AND OTHER ARTHROPODS, REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS.

IN URBAN AND SUBURBAN SETTINGS, THEY ARE SOMETIMES CONSIDERED A NUISANCE AND CAN BE QUITE ANNOYING.

THEIR CALL IS LOUD, THEY WILL SCRATCH PAINT ON VEHICLES, EAT FLOWERS AND LEAVE FECES. ​

WE HAVE DEVELOPED A TRAPPING SYSTEM THAT IS GUARANTEED TO CATCH PEAFOWL. . THE TRAP IS VERY LARGE AND IS COLLAPSIBLE, FOR EASY TRANSPORT. 

IT HAS AN ANIMAL TRIGGERED CLOSING MECHANISM THAT WORKS VERY WELL AND REQUIRES NO HUMAN INTERACTION. 

WHEN WE REMOVE THE BIRDS, THEY ARE THEN TAKEN TO ONE OF SEVERAL RESCUE STATIONS FOR REHABILITATION.
