Birds, including peacocks “molt”. Peacocks “shed” their feathers annually. This shedding of feathers is completely natural and in no way hurts the bird, it happens without intervention by humans. Peacocks then grow new feathers, which are again, the following year, shed.

Thank you MarieSali for such an amazing breakthrough! I had no idea the male peacock could drop its tail! It’s amazing what Mother Nature cooked, really!

My parents owned quite a few peacocks and as a result I grew up around them, quite obviously they will molt once a year shedding their feathers but it is a tiresome prospect to run around gathering them up, not to mention the damage that can be done by running through bushes and over rocks. That being said, a male peacock can drop its tail if feeling threatened (much like an iguana can drop its tail with no harm to itself) so its likley the feather removal process was mildly irritating but not a catastrophic event for the peacocks. I think its an amazing dress, one i could never afford, but amazing none the less.

Just a note… hens can lay eggs without a rooster’s help. Those eggs you eat? They’re unfertilized. Roosters are only needed to fertilize eggs when more hens are needed (as in, more babies). For that, you don’t need many roosters, which is why baby roosters are disposed of – they make no profit. Only the hens are needed to lay eggs.

As for se*ing the babies, there are people that know how to do that without an ornithological expert.

Anyway, back to the dress. It is gorgeous, but looks pretty heavy!
