Peacock also grace many of Europes palaces, mansions and castles. Since having had a fine example visit my farm a few years ago - it was owned by a local Pastor's wife and travelled several kilometres from the nearest manse - I have thought one or two would be nice around the place. Foxes may be a problem but I have been told a peacock's cry scares them away (?). Their reputation as snake killers would be very very welcome.

My idea is to fox proof my high fenced deer park (which will take some years to do ie money) as I want to let some guinea fowl and pheasant roam wild in there. Peacocks could join them. With the gunieafowl and the pheasant the idea is that when they leave the "park" they have left sanctuary

.

I have heard the 'bad luck' story too about peacocks. Indeed a relative who had a small private zoo and a number of peafowl, once gave my parents a large array of peacock feathers. After severak years of bad luck they decided he had put a 'hex' of the feathers and threw them away. Old Wives' Tales, maybe, but the nearest front door of our house would also open itself on still and windless nights

. (Now fixed by a sturdy lockable bolt

).
