Are peacocks invasive species?

Peafowl can be pretty hardy, but like most birds from the more tropical climates, you'd be hard pressed to find them wandering around in the Midwest or far northeast where the temperatures drop below 0*F in the winter. And they also can't handle extreme heat either, but if you live in a climate where they can survive, that's a little more difficult to answer. The proper definition of invasive species as defined in the Executive Summary of the National Invasive Species Management Plan (NISMP); the term invasive species is further clarified and defined as "a species that is non-native to the ecosystem under consideration and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health." They are considered a type of pheasant, however, where we have pheasants, they are not eliminating the populations. They are also not eliminating the native populations of their prey. Peafowl are omnivores and eat not just seed, flowers and other parts of the plant, but they also prey on snakes. Here in the US some people claim that they are invasive because in FL peafowl have caused quite a disturbance to suburban sprawl, however, Florida is suffering a larger problem of true invasive species like; the Burmese python, the Nile monitor, island apple snail and the Asiatic clam. The main difference between a non-native species inhabiting an area and an invasive species, is that an invasive species disrupts and destroys the natural ecosystem. Many times the problem is that these invasive species will eat native animals, but there are no predators to eat the invasive creature. There are plenty of predatory species out there who would love to chomp down on those brightly colored birds.
