Peafowl are a staple here at Popcorn Park, adding a splash of vibrant color and personality to our sanctuary. Our very first peacock arrived years ago after being found wandering astray, and over time, more have joined our free-roaming flock. Now, these dazzling birds can be spotted all around the refuge, from perching in trees to strolling past visitors with an air of confidence.

Known for their striking plumage, peacocks (males) grow elaborate, iridescent tail feathers, which they proudly display in breathtaking fan-like shows each spring to impress the peahens (females). Their beauty isn’t just visual—peacocks are also famous for their loud, unmistakable calls that echo throughout the refuge, often surprising first-time visitors!
