: Can you trim a peacock's wing feathers to prevent them from flying, without hurting them? (standard in keeping parrots) I am in the process of purchasing a pair of chicks, and would like to let them rome free after they are acclimated to the area by use of a pen for several months.

I believe you can, but I don't see why you would need to if you are going to let the birds run free. The peafowl usually only fly to roost and to flee danger.
