Over the years we have quietened down these wild peacocks and now have many of them eating our of our hands. But, they have increased in numbers over the last few years and one of our neighbours is complaining so we have to get the numbers down. I don't want to see them killed as they so soooooo lovely. I would dearly like to find new homes for them. If you know of anyone who would be interested, please let me know ASAP. We can catch them, and if their eyes are covered up (ie a sock!) they go totally quiet and can easily be transported. FREE TO A GOOD HOME!!!!
