Peacock hire

No idea where to get them from but do remember that they are often used in grand houses as guard birds - they make an AWFUL racket if disturbed - rather than just pretty birds and they won't necessarily have all of their pretty feathers.

Im sure it is possible to hire peacocks- a TV or film company may be a good place to start with contacts- they must have somewhere they get animals from for TV programmes etc.

Perhaps you could just have a peacock theme? I imagine that would be much easier.

(if you do find somewhere to hire peacocks- let me know. Would love to see MrMini's face when he gets home and I have filled the garden with the things)

Thanks kittykat, I was afraid of that, just thought it would be kinda funny to have them bobbing around...

I would guess that, alongside doves and butterflies, peacock hire wouldn't go down well here. A lot of people dislike the thought of (ab)using animals as 'entertainment' as part of a wedding.

I think the suggestion of peacock feathers in the table decorations and invitation imagery is probably a far safer - and cheaper - bet.

However, if you really are set on it, perhaps a call to this place might give you some leads - http://www.peacocks4u.co.uk/

Aside from the welfare concerns that have already been mentioned and which make any kind of wildlife involvement controversial on here, peacocks are quite often rather bad tempered birds. I've been bitten by one before when I was a kid. They may not appreciate being played with by any small guests you may have.
