Are peacocks shy

Answer 1

I have to say that it depends on the peacock's temperament and its living situation, although most male fowl are considered aggressive. However, aggressive does not necessarily mean that the bird is 'mean.' Answerpeacocks are very mean, they chase you around when out of a cage!!! AnswerI have to disagree with above author. Most pea fowl are easily intimidated by humans, and trie to evade people. Trying to catch an un-penned pea fowl is very challenging as they are quite quick.

With patience you can teach them to do small tricks and eat from your hand. Mine do not like to be held but the male will let me pet him.

Answer 2

Peacocks may have small brains but they're actually a very intelligent species. They can see more colours than humans and can make false mating calls to attract more females in breeding season.

Answer 3

No, I understand that they can be quite mean. Somewhat like a goose who will actually attack if it feels threatened.

Answer 4

As long as you don't threaten it, it won't attack you, but if it views you as a threat, you should leave.

Answer 5

Yes as long as you don't get in their face, or pluck/pick their feathers, because that disturbs them. Otherwise, they are very friendly.
