Wild Peacocks
  • Wild peacocks are ground foragers. They thrive on a variety of insects and plants along with the occasional small creature. Surprisingly, peacocks have a taste for snakes, including poisonous ones, and have been known to follow their slithering prey for entertainment before eating them.

    Wild peacocks that roam grounds bordering farms, ranches and preserves are often supplemented with game-bird feed and cracked corn. These grains can also be found at feed stores to feed domesticated peacocks. Keep in mind when allowing wild peacocks into open areas of personal property that they will eat anything with bright colors, especially white, regardless of whether it is edible or garbage.

Domesticated Peacocks
  • Domesticated peacocks are pampered in the fact that they do not have to work hard for their meals. The household peacock still eats insects and plants and enjoys additions of cat food, bread, cheese and cooked rice. Flower gardens are in constant danger around peacocks; not only do they eat the flowers searching for bugs, they eat them when they are bored. Peacocks also enjoy the grubs that are found in vegetable gardens, often grazing on the green lawns along the way.
