Peacocks are cocky, so you must dominate them if you want them to leave.
Peacocks are beautiful pheasants that originate from India, Pakistan and Burma. Although they originate from Asia and usually do not ever like to travel far from home, they have managed to find homes in the wild all over the world, and can be often found in parks in Europe. These birds are not exactly the best kind of birds to live with though. They can be irritating, irritable, loud, messy, and utterly disrespectful of the hard work you have put into your vegetable patch. If you live with a lot of wild peacocks, it is useful to know get them to leave.
Instructions
1. Blast the peacocks with your water hose or powerful water pistol whenever you see them getting up to no good on your property. In most cases this will get them to leave, but if they run at you, let them have a full sustained blast of water.
2. Build yourself a scarecrow and place a walkie-talkie inside it. When you see the peacocks getting to close to your property, shout at them through the other walkie-talkie unit from your house. Build a moving scarecrow that can flap its arms for an even greater effect.
3. Buy a guard dog and train it to scare away peacocks. Ensure your dog can handle itself though; when peacocks get aggressive, they tend not to back down. They can inflict nasty injuries to small dogs.
4. Cover your vegetable garden, flowers and fruit vines and any other fresh produce which might get munched by the peacocks with strong netting. This should at least ensure that when you are not there to shoo them away, they will not rampage through your garden eating everything in sight.
5. Check with local animal control groups and shelters to find out how you can get remove this nuisance. It may be the case that someone will capture your peacocks and take them away to live on a more appropriate piece of land.
