Since the early part of the 20th century, peafowl have lived on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
Peafowl are native to India and Asia and are members of the pheasant family.
Some people enjoy their presence, while others would rather they go away. Peafowl trapping and relocating is only a temporary solution as new flocks can wander in from other areas. Avoid feeding wild birds because peafowl are attracted to the seeds. Avoid growing vegetation that peafowl like such as impatiens, California poppies, petunias, amaryllis, nasturtiums, sweet alyssum, primrose, begonias, holly berries and most garden vegetables. On the other hand, peafowl dislike certain vegetation such as ivy, roses, geraniums, cactus, marigolds, and mint.
