Peacocks Can Be Beautiful Pets

Peacocks are very pretty animals with their long colorful tails and the pretty colors on top of their heads that wiggle in the breeze. Peacocks can actually be kept as pets and they can be pretty hardy pets too. If you get some healthy peacocks they can stand temperatures that are hot or cold but you must provide them with shade in the summer and a nice building in the winter.

A baby peacock and be made into a nice pet. You have to start playing with the peacock when it is young to make it a pet. Once a peacock is grown into an adult you won't be able to tame it. A adult peacock that has not been worked with is wild and not good to make into a pet.

Peacocks can be purchased for about $50. You would think that they would be more expensive since they are exotic and beautiful but there are plenty of peacocks so the price is not outrageous.

If you are considering getting a peacock you should check into the area you live. Some areas do not let you have peacocks. You should also get more then one peacock since peacocks live in flocks and they get lonely if left alone.

Pet peacocks are gorgeous as they strut around the yard. The males can put their fans out when they want to attract a female. As the male fans out its tail it will shake the tail to get the females attention. When the male shakes the tail feathers it makes a very loud noise that can wake a baby. Peacocks can be fun to watch and have as pets.

Peacocks can be left to wonder about outside during the daytime if you live in a place that allows for it. Your peacocks should be put inside at night to keep predators from getting at them. Once the peacocks know where the safe place to go at night is they will go their themselves as the sun goes down. Then all you need to do is close the door and reopen the door in the morning.

Once you decide to buy some peacocks you may need to contain the peacocks in a place so they don't get away unless you have free roaming peacocks. The place to decide to put your peacocks needs to be well contained since peacocks are escape artist and they will try hard to get out of an enclosure. If you have to keep you peacocks in an enclosure it is best to have one with a ceiling on it to keep the peacocks from escaping.
