Why do peacocks screech?

Question

My neighbor who I am good friends with wants peacocks, but the only thing stopping her is the horrible screeching noise they make. What makes them screech? Is there any way to stop it? Please let me know if you can, I'd really love if she had peacocks, seeing such beautiful birds roaming around :). Thanks!

Answer 1

No, you can't stop it.  They screech as a form of communication.  It's what peacocks do.

Answer 2

you can't. it's like getting a rooster to stop crowing
