Buying a Peacock
-
1
Consult Birds Now (http://www.birdsnow.com/peacock.htm), an online aviary classified system that offers many peacocks for sale. The birds can be shipped.
-
2
Visit your local aviary or pet shop. Locate them through a consultation of the phone book, the Internet or through your local network of friends and family. If the nearest aviary does not have peacocks, they can likely do a special order or point you in the right direction.
-
3
Locate breeders near you. Consult Craigslist, the yellow pages and your social network. You may be in for a bit of a drive.
Finding Feral Peacocks
-
4
Visit India. Peacocks are considered sacred here, and have multiplied as a result. Visit other countries, such as Palestine and Greece, to see feral peacocks that are the distant descendents of those brought from India long ago.
-
5
Visit California and Florida. Although many other states have feral peafowl populations, these states have the most.
-
6
Visit Hawaii. Learn about Frances Sinclair, who first introduced the birds on Kauai in 1860. Observe the stable, feral populations that are now established on all the major Hawaiian islands.
