The Peacock (Indian Peafowl, Pavo cristatus) is one of the world's most visually striking birds, making it a premium ornamental and tourism-attraction animal for resorts, event venues, hotels, eco-tourism farms, and high-end private properties. In Nigeria, peafowl farming is a niche but growing agribusiness opportunity combining ornamental value, meat production, and breeding stock sales in one unique enterprise. Peacocks are hardy, adaptable birds that thrive in Nigerian tropical conditions. With relatively low feed requirements (they forage extensively), long lifespans (15 - 20 years), and high market prices for live birds, peacocks offer an attractive niche investment with limited competition.
