Yes, mature Peacocks do lose some of their feathers. After about age three, they begin cycles of annual molting of their long tail feathers. This usually occurs in summer, around July or August. After each molting, the tail feathers will be longer and have more "eyes". They drop the feathers here and there around the grounds where they roam, making it easy to find and collect them if you are lucky enough to live with them.

Peacocks are male - and so, they don't lay eggs.

Peacocks lose their tail feathers at the end of their breeding season.

Peahens don;t normally lay eggs until they are two years old.
