Hi, we have an Indian blue Peacock and his wifey peahen. They had 5 babies earlier in the year so we built them a much bigger pen to house them. When we did the big transfer on Sunday we got mum and the babies in no problems but he did a runner. He is coming back each day to check on his family but we cannot get him back in either pen new or old. We have tried catching him with a blanket and nets we have tried all his favourite foods in bowls have tried throwing mealworms and getting him to follow us. We are worried about foxes getting him at night. Any other suggestions as to how to catch him?

Fist you need to let him settle again so stop trying to catch him and rebuild his trust. while you are are waiting have a read of this viewtopic.php?f=43&t=2385 written by our no1 breeder and is excellent and works.

GREAT ARTICLE!


We find once the sun goes down or darkness you can catch them on their perch....but be quick and don't shine a constant light to do the acts maybe a torch intermediately used (for human sake) will work! Catch them in a nice soft blanket that they can breath through once their head is covered (darkness) they generally settle and hunker down...

PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY CAN BREATHE THROUGH THE MATERIAL A GOOD TEST IS COVER YOUR OWN HEAD UP AND IF YOU CAN BREATHE FOR EXTENDED TIME THEN OKAY TO USE!~

REMEMBER WHAT IS BEST FOR THE ANIMAL IS BEST FOR EVERYBODY!
