Perhaps there are people in your neighborhood who do NOT
like free roaming peafowls and are getting rid of them.
My own peafowls are kept penned at ALL times because there
are predators in nearby woods that would like to eat peafowl
at my expense.
I prefer to not have the peacock with the family. In fact
most of the time I keep peachicks in a warm brooder with NO
mother.
The first time I had a peahen raising her own peachicks
one of them popped out through the 2"x4" dogwire and if I
had not been there to put it back and make some changes to
the pen to prevent that....this peachick could have been
lost or killed
