surprise visitor

Have you tried asking the nearest zoo for help or advice? As far as I know, peacocks cannot survive harsh winter weather, so if the temperature threatens to drop below freezing come winter, you either have to find someone who will take it, or find a hen coop and some straw for it.

Dillonsgrandma I too in the past have phoned RSPCA about abused animals and they have totally refused help I was surprised and disgusted
Can you not tackle the lady yourself I m afraid I would I can't bear to think of anyone or anything being hurt

Dillonsgranma, please tell us this poor little dog was rescued in the end. There's so much animal cruelty in the world, it's unbearable.

I never hear any positive accounts of the RSPCA. Even my own experience of them is negative.

Do you live near Llandudno? A pair escaped from the farm park a couple of years ago. They don't want them back.

On subject of rspca, I phoned them recently about neghbour abusing their shihtzu dog. The dog was screaming in agony as she abused it for a long time. My next door neighbour heard it as well. It was blood curdling and very upsetting. I phoned the rspca, who would do nothing . Disgusting

We had a pair take up residence a couple of years ago. Felt very grand having peacocks in our front garden! I didn't realise how well they can fly, they thought nothing or perching on a neighbour's roof, looked ridiculous balance walking along the ridge tiles. All enquiries, including to the "local" stately home (five miles away) drew a blank, but then they changed their minds and came and collected them.

Treat it as you would any other itinerant bird. I used to have a couple of peacocks. Beautiful! Think of them as large decorative chickens. I love the call they make - wild and primitive!! Feed it if you want it to hang about. Don't if you don't! They are not delicate or fragile.

We had one in my neighbourhood some years ago. It came back every year for a few years. I believe I read somewhere that it is looking for a mate.

Depending where you live in North Wales I would ring Chester Zoo and ask for their thoughts on the matter they may be able to direct you into the right way to go,I am not surprised RSPCA did not respond they are quite useless imo,we had a RSPCA rescue centre in the lane at the back of our old house and on the gate at the entrance was a sign which stated "No Stray Cats or Dogs" inform your local Police Station,what was that all about then? I thought it was a Charity funded by us the General Public.

I think they can live without interference, no bother. They are noisy and smelly and can be aggressive too!
If it isn't injured I would leave it be ?

I have seen peacocks ( in the singular, one at a time) several times around a village near me.Walking quite unconcernedly along the verge next to a road.This is over the course of ten years, it could be the same bird ( how long do they live?)
Or different ones, coming and going from wherever they usually live.They seemed fine.

whereaml555 have just seen this and wondering where in North Wales you are. Last year we visited Gwydir Castle near Conwy and there were a lot of peacocks there and some flying about. Maybe one has become disorientated?

Maybe Google Hollytrees Animal Rescue
in Warwickshire and you may get some advice from a Very experienced animal rescuer Ray Deddicoat. I'm sorry I can't paste the Web site onto here.

I would contact local media, tv, radio and newspapers. They would love the story and might be able to find out if someone is missing their peacock.

I find it somewhat unusual the RSPCA and RSPB did not at least give guidance even if they themselves would not take action.

If you live anywhere near a zoo or a holiday park (like Flamingoland), they may be willing to help. There are 3 at our local park and I think 2 of them were 'strays'. They live in small enclosures with hens, rabbits and guinea pigs, and a few exotic birds.

Poor old thing. Maybe this rescue can help?
Even if you're not in their area, perhaps they can suggest a rescue in your area.

I was enjoying the quiet of an empty house and eating lunch in my garden. I looked up and there was a peacock sitting on the corner of my bungalow roof. I was stunned. Like you I rang various charities for advise without success, whilst it sat on my front doorstep. I could see it through the glass door.
In the end it went off down the road, We live in a rural area and there are a number of large houses with peacocks in their gardens so I presumed it would find it's way home.

Yes I live not far from Greenwich we have the Woolwich community page on FB and there was one being photographed all over different places it turned out we had two.
Then one morning one was sitting on a fence opposite where I live. Happily they were both captured not harmed and went to a centre.
Get in touch with your local council may be they can advise.

Is the creature in distress?

We had one visit our garden in Worcestershire some years ago. He stayed a few days then moved over the road, stayed there a couple of days then left. Lovely looking bird but very noisy.

If it sheds any if it's tail feathers, please let me know! They are great for making fishing flies! ?

Locals in this area periodically find peacocks in their gardens. One person acquired a peahen, who intimated her cats and two Great Dane dogs into total submission.

It disappeared one early spring but reappeared a couple of months later with four pea-babies in tow! You wouldn't expect it to be that easy for a peahen to find a mate in rural Scotland but she managed!

I think peacocks were in the groups of domesticated birds which had to be culled during the last outbreak of avian flu - maybe it's a refugee from that?
Some friends here used to keep them, but they've left now, so I can't ask their advice.
Enjoy having your visitor!

Yes one Christmas a peahen suddenly walked past our front window - neighbours and I all tried to find owner but with no success it lived quite happily if somewhat lonely for a few years amongst all the cars and grass et. And obviously didn't starve It's gone now and apparently is living amongst peacock friends in a house near the forest which we back onto
Police RSPCA etc nobody would come out though
