What to do with overcrowding Indian Peafowl

[Chicken Gamer]

I'm getting a serious problem with overcrowding Indian Peafowl but can not release nor trade.

We were planning a roasted peafowl dinner on another thread. You want to see if we can add yours, or if we have enough>? There's 678 of them already.
Give them to the staff as bonuses.

Put every male on birth control.
Choose 5-7 adults with the best stats, release/sell everyone else.
Send to storage most juvenile birds, keep 3-5 in the habitat until they mature then sell them. Keep sending a few juveniles to the habitat, wait until they mature then sell.
Rinse and repeat until you reach your goal — a few adults and a few juveniles in your habitat and none in your storage.
After your last batch matured, decide if you want your best birds to breed. Choose a male, take him off birth control. After he is “done” (with one chick) put him back on birth control immediately.

Watch for the juvenile males and make sure you don’t let them breed without your approval.
The moment you get a message that they matured, sell them or put them on birth control,

seperate the males from females. setup a separate habitat for your breeding program. keep those separate from your main habitat. best way to keep breeding under control

Add at least one carnivore habitat and transfer excess peafowl to it.

I find that most of the time I cannot sell or release an animal it's because it's either sick or hurt :) Maybe check that first

Trouble with Peafowl is they are prolific breeders AND poopers so if you do not keep numbers down with contraceptives they quickly become diseased and then you cannot trade or sell them AND the Vets cannot cure them all before the get reinfected. better to keep a few breeding under supervision and the rest on contraceptives. When I am busy doing other things I put them ALL on contraceptives.

If left unchecked Peafowls can be an absolute nightmare.

Thanks all for your help. This game is so interesting but I'm afraid of my computer is not strong enough to build full map :(
