Strangely, in India, their feathers are supposed to bring good luck - perhaps, this is because the Hindus worship them. This might be OT but some cultural differences arose out of Hinduism and Christianity looking at things differently - the Hindu word for their Gods, "Deva" became "Devil" to Christians. SOmething similar might have happened on the peacocks.
Good hunting!
