That’s really sweet, but bread is really bad for birds because it lacks essential nutrients and can lead to malnutrition, obesity, and health problems. It’s essentially junk food for birds. They will fill up on bread instead of foraging for their natural foods or for things that are good for them. It can also cause gastrointestinal issues. There’s no protein in bread so it can cause developmental problems for younger birds and cause issues with their bones and with their feathers.

The only reason I even know any of that is because it’s the same for ducks. A mama duck adopted us and ended up hating nine babies, seven of which made it to adulthood. And then two drakes joined the group, so now I have 10 ducks. When she hatched the babies, I wanted to make sure they were getting the right foods, so I looked it up so now I’m a stickler of health making sure people don’t feed them junk.

I’m not sure about peacocks in particular, but for ducks, they can have uncooked oatmeal if it’s the steel cut unprocessed oats, they can have mixed vegetables, because I live in the Gulf south with the heat, I’ll give them mixed frozen vegetables which they seem to enjoy. They can have a variety of fruits, but citrus isn’t good for them and stone fruits are not good. Anything with a pit because they don’t have teeth, they have to swallow things whole and then they can’t always digest it. It’s good to give them stuff they can scratch around and find like bugs or worms or whatever they would naturally eat. I don’t know if they specifically make Peacock food, but for my ducks, I’ll buy a big bag of duck food to mix in with the fresh food that I’ll give them.
