Peacock and Peafowl Removal in South Florida
Peafowl are magnificent birds right up until there are twenty of them on your street. Redline removes peacocks, peahens and chicks humanely across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County, using traps we build ourselves for birds this size. Municipalities, HOAs and commercial buildings hire us because of how we handle the birds, not just how fast we clear them. Call 954 842 3051 for a free estimate.
What peafowl do to a property
A peacock will attack its own reflection, which in practice means the side of a parked car. The claw and beak marks that leaves are body shop work, not buffing. Birds roost on roofs and pull loose barrel tile, tear screen enclosures getting up and down, and strip flower beds and vegetable gardens. Then there is the noise. The mating call carries for a mile and starts before dawn through spring and early summer. And droppings, which are large, land on driveways, walkways, pool decks and cars, and take pressure washing to shift. A pair becomes a flock quickly. A peahen can lay a clutch of half a dozen eggs a year, and in a neighborhood where people feed them, almost every chick survives.
How we trap peafowl
Peafowl are smart, they fly, and they do not walk into a raccoon trap. We build oversized custom traps sized for adult birds, place them where the flock already feeds and loafs, and pre bait the area so the birds are relaxed before anything closes. Traps are checked daily, every day they are on site, without exception. Where trapping is not the right tool we use nets and night work while the birds are roosting. Eggs and nests are removed before they hatch, which is the part most people skip and the reason flocks come back.
The legal side
Peafowl are not native to Florida and are not protected as state wildlife. Several cities and counties in South Florida do have their own peafowl ordinances covering how the birds may be handled, and some communities have long standing agreements about them. We work inside whatever local rules apply to your address and we will tell you what those are before we start. If your HOA needs documentation for the board or the city, we can provide it.
Common questions
Are peacocks protected in Miami-Dade County? There are local ordinances covering how peafowl may be treated in parts of Miami-Dade. They do not stop a property owner from dealing with a nuisance flock, but they do affect the method. That is one reason to use a company that works these birds regularly.
What happens to the birds after removal? They are trapped alive, handled carefully and moved. We will explain exactly what happens to them when we quote your job.
How long does it take? A single problem bird can be a one visit job. An established flock of fifteen or twenty birds is usually a few weeks of trap placement, daily checks and follow up.
Will removing some of them just bring more in? Only if the food stays. Neighbors feeding the flock is the number one reason peafowl return, and it is worth handling that at the same time.
Can you do the whole neighborhood? Yes. We hold contracts with municipalities and large communities, and a coordinated street by street removal works far better than one house at a time.
