Peacock Los Angeles Arboretum Winter Light Festival 007
"Peafowl found their way to this area
when Arcadia’s founder Elias J.
“Lucky” Baldwin imported the colorful
birds to Arcadia from India in the
early 20th century. Peafowl continue
to thrive in the City today.
Native to India, Burma, Java, Ceylon,
Malaya and Congo, peafowl are relatives to pheasants.
The difference is in the plumage. The term “peafowl”
refers to the species with the males called peacocks;
the females are called peahens and offspring under
the age of one year are called peachicks....
Generally peafowl will not attack or
harm adults, children or animals." www.arcadiaca.gov
