The peacocks and peahens belong to their neighbour and fly over an 8 foot wall to get into the garden,where they peck at certain plants .Father ,aged 80,is furious if he sees them in the garden and will chase them out.But they come back,sooner or later.
Is there any way of deterring peacocks and peahens from coming into my parents' garden?
give them some peapeas to eat in their own yard. doh!
Reply:At one time the Peacock was the most sought after bird in Europe,both for it's scarcity and plummage.The Vikings would bury one with a recently deceased Jarl along with his other worldly possessions.And you want to shoo such a wonder on nature form your yard? Get an air rifle,the report is no louder than a nail gun,and they may be good eatin'.
Reply:a great big dog would help.
or a roof.

The above mentioned file had a list of plants to add to the garden to deter their visits.
I was unable to copy, so just posted the link. Good Luck!
