My friend's father owned several blue peacocks in McMinnville, TN. So when he says they're everywhere, he definitely means everywhere!
Peacocks (and I’m talking about the males here) can make a scream that sounds like a human woman screaming in terror. I found this out when I was working as a security officer at night at a theme park that had many pea fowl. One night, I heard this bloodcurdling scream and thought for certain that someone was being attacked somewhere on the park property. I ran off in the direction of the screaming, determined to help the poor woman who I was convinced was being attacked.
Imagine my surprise when I arrived in front of the bird enclosure and saw one of the big males making the chilling screams. Absurd, right?
That sounds like a great beginning for a short horror story. I love it. Also that would be terrifying.
Animal Fact Files it was! I was there all alone except for all the animals, and I wasn’t about to let some poor woman get attacked on *my* watch! I was bound and determined to beat the stuffing out of some nasty little loser thug and help the woman.... and there was actually no thug and no woman. I ended up getting a much-needed laugh over it. The peacock that had caused all this fuss stood there staring at me as if he thought I had lost my mind. Expressive little beggars...
Thats actually really funny 😂
@@AnimalFactFiles ❤️❤️❤️
That is interesting! Animals can be very human like!!😅
Peacock are my favorite bird from my favorite bird collection❤❤❤❤❤
Love this. The Indian Peafowl is the National bird of India, so I feel a lot of connection to this.
Best peacock fact video on the internet thank you my toddler thanks you
Thank you for these awesome facts, Animal fact file!😀
Beautiful peacock belongs to my beautiful country ❤️
Peacocks are my favorite bird!😍🦚
Since I can’t have a panda I wanna raise a peacock
My house used to have a pet peacock around because of the previous owners. Never knew what happened to it. I just thought it either flew away or got killed by a dog.
That's kind of a near thing to inherit, though odd. Wonder why they left it.
Let us assume they flew away.
Thanks, helped with a 2nd grade school project
Nice video! It was very useful
Love this video. We have about 50 or so here in a neighborhood in Texas. I try and capture all kinds of videos of their beauty, antics and peachicks growing up.
this is so underrated ❤
Aww! Thank you!
Wow nice looking 🐦
Nice video!
The NBC peacock.
so good
Love my six free peafowls running around in my park
I watch all your videos they're so good
Thanks so much! We're glad you enjoy them! =)
Once when we were on holiday a peahen and her chicks flew into the field next to us. Weird considered we were in Cornwall 😂
Oh wow! That must have been quite the sight!!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Thank you so much!!
In the beginning *God* created peacocks.
I think you meant they’re hunted by Leopards. No Jaguars in Africa and Asia
Ahh! Thank you for pointing that out!! You're so right. We'll get that fixed up. Thank you!!
1:08 HUNTING?! WHO WOULD WANT TO HUNT A PEACOCK?!
It is one of the more odd hunting choices., and apparently they don't taste very good!
Won’t they just fly away if they’re not caged

Wow you should do mute swans just on mute swans
That's a great idea! I'll add them to the list. Thank you!
There are no jaguars in India 🤦
