What should you do if your neighbor has peacocks and they come over and peck at your basement window and how do you stop them before they break the glass?

Answer 1

• Talk to your neighbor so they are made aware of the problem. Hopefully he will be mature and pen up his bird, that is his responsibility. If the peacock pecks at your window this may sound stupid but he likes you and is being friendly BUT I do understand you being upset. Tell your neighbor he must pen him up.

• I would think the noise they make would drive you mad. They have a distinct call and it can be irritating if there are enough of them. Tell your neighbor either they confine their peacocks or they will be getting the bill for your windows and if they don't like that idea you'll have the ASPCA take care of the matter. Explaining to you neighbor how much it will cost them, when it happens.

• Tell your neighbour that it is unacceptable to allow their birds to roam onto and potentially damage other peoples property. Either they control the birds or you will contact the relevant authorities who will rehouse them with someone who will.

• Talk to your neighbors and tell them what is going on. Then they can solve the problem. If they still don't do anything, you could talk to the people in charge of your city or the police. Most likely though, your neighbors don't know what their birds are doing, and they'll fix it when you talk to them.

• Whether it be peacocks, dogs or cats, it's up to the owner to control them! Your need to communicate in a nice way to your neighbor that their peacocks are pecking at your basement window. I am sure they are not aware of this. The City Bylaws are keeping pets on the owners property. The neighbour will probably comply. Peacocks are a beautiful bird, but they can wail and can peck. They probably see their reflection in the window and think it's another bird. For now, try putting up dark paper so they don't get the reflection and it should stop them from pecking.

• If you don't mind the birds being in your yard or on your property, a simple solution to stopping the window pecking is to get a window basement guard. These are usually made of a clear or semitransparent plastic and are rather a side-wise dome shape. It will also help on keeping the glass clean from debris and rain spots. You can usually find these at a large home improvement store. Another alternative is to give the window a wash treatment. This is done on the interior surface with a latex paint. It should be a thin coat and can even be done in a decorative manner if you are artistically inclined. By doing the wash, you will cut the reflective image coming back to the cock that antagonizes his desire to challenge what he perceives as another cock.
• I have been issued citations by Brazoria County for hens, roosters, and wild ducks eating planted seed from neighbors flower bed. Even though we are located outside the city limits the law stats animals are to be contained. I could not catch them and instead of paying a $500 dollar fine for each animal, I was forced to shoot them. Its a shame a grown man can not out smart a Innocent fowl that was just hungry and I certainly do not blame the neighbor cause her flower bed would not grow. Sorry, I think the peacock male is the most beautiful of all the fowl.
