Urban Peacocks

Free-ranging peacocks are established in several communities in the United States, including including Arcadia and Palos Verdes, California, the foothills of the Toquima mountains in central Nevada, parts of Florida including Coconut Grove and Longboat Key, and on Oahu, Hawaii. Escaped or roaming peacocks are frequently reported and are likely to turn up almost anywhere. While some people appreciate these large attractive birds, they can become a nuisance when they roost in trees or eat landscaping plants.
