You can create a peacock's habitat by using simple supplies and tools.
Technically, peacock is the name for the male and peahen is the name for the female of the bird species properly called peafowl, but people typically just refer to them all as peacocks. It is the male that has the spectacular plumage for which the species is known. Peacocks are native to habitats that are full of vegetation. You can build a structure filled with greenery to create a peacock habitat that the birds will get used to in no time.
Instructions
1. Build a peacock pen for your peafowl large enough to accommodate the males' long tail, which they like to display. Amy's Peacock Paradise states that the general rule of thumb is to build a pen that is 10-feet wide and 6-feet tall. The pen should also be approximately 100 square feet. Use plywood to build the structure and use strong netting for the ceiling. Cut the plywood according to the height and length of the pen that you will be making.
2. Insulate the pen. During the winter months, peafowl need to stay warm. Use a soft material, such as cloth to insulate the pen. Ensure that the material is safe for the peafowl. The pen needs to be rain- and snow-proof. Apply plastic to the inside of the pen to prevent rain and water from melting snow from coming in.
3. Place foliage and small tress around the pen. Peacocks like to go into forests with deep bushes, grass and trees. You can purchase foliage from a garden shop or a plant store.
4. Place their food near or in their pen. National Geographic states that peacocks are ground feeders; they eat insects and plants. They can also eat nuts, if provided. You can grow various nonpoisonous plants before you get the peacocks.
