what food for a peacock

[gucciman]

At the farm where we keep our horses a peacock has appeared from nowhere and set up home. He's very tame and comes into our stables to scrounge whatever he can get his beak into, pony nuts, pony mix, crisps etc

Is there any proper food you can buy for peacocks and where can I get some from?

many thanks

are you going to keep him or her?

corn is meant to be good, but as long ass they don't have stuff thats obviuosly bad for them such as sugary stuff they are alright.

It may not be good for them but I know what they like

Grapes

I've had peacocks come ant take them out of my hand before

Poultry Growers Pellets should be OK. Available from any agricultural store.
You can find a decent recipe for it here http://www.gourmet.co...1950s/1951/12/peacock

does anyone know if they like or it\'s ok to feed them wild bird food? got to be better than horse feed surely !

and its not a case of us keeping him, he seems to have adoped us !
