I keep on quoting the poet, Frost, who said "Good fences
make good neighbors".....and nobody seems to get it!!!!
In this case a couple of "secure pens" complete with
visual barriers is the ONLY solution.
Get peahens????....that would be something for them to
fight about. But if each is in his own pen with a peahen
and they can not see eachother there should be peace.
Otherwise there will be pieces

Hi Helen.

I think your only permanent solution is to rehome one boy and get one or two peahens for the remaining one. :)

I know it seems really cruel to split them up, but the one you keep will NOT call forever. :) My three lost their Mother and called for a couple of days...then they just got on with things. I also rehomed Colin's (my peacock) brother and it was fine...probably because I had the peahens to take his mind off it. :)

Don't worry, it's not the end of your peafowl road, but if you can't pen them up, I think you should do the rehoming thing. :(
