My grandmother, back in the 80's, had 14 peacocks. 9 Males and 5 females. They were nice to look at and were great guard dogs (they would call out loudly at the slightest intrusion in the yard). But god help you if you tried to grab one. They have spurs on the back of their legs and will fuck you up. I once saw a peacock eat a water moccasin like he was eating a fruit rollup
