A bride has been branded ‘clueless’ and ‘cruel’ for using ‘animals as props’ after she revealed she wanted to rent a peacock to walk down the aisle during her wedding ceremony.
A friend of the bride, believed to be from the US, took to Facebook for recommendations on how to rent the bird ahead of the nuptials.
Their request was shared on the That’s It, I’m Wedding Shaming (non ban happy edition) Facebook group, where many said peacocks were aggressive animals that can ‘break your nose’ and ‘poop everywhere’.
Others compared the animals to ‘a flock of angry geese,’ and that a wedding with the birds would be a ‘massacre.’

‘Asking for a friend.. I was wondering if any of you knew where I can rent a peacock for a wedding. Quite possibly to walk down the aisle,’ the post read.
After it was shared on the wedding shaming group, many pointed out the practical issue of having a loud, undomesticated animal at a ceremony.
Some said the birds shrieks especially wouldn’t suit an emotional and heartfelt ceremony.
‘I’ve heard a peacock scream. I can’t imagine how loud they would be in a closed room. Bad idea all around,’ one wrote.

Can you domesticate a peacock or peahen?
Peafowl are not traditional pets and can be aggressive (pictured: a peacock in Bucharest, Romania)
Peafowl can be tame and kept as pets. but they are not known for their friendly nature and require a lot personal space.
Peacocks are hard to domesticate and cannot be house trained.
Peacocks and peahens are beloved for their beautiful feathers, but need a lot of space to roam freely so they don’t get cage anxiety or damage their bodies.
The animals are not indicated for suburban areas because they are noisy and can jump over walls, promise to wreak havoc on the neighbourhood.
It’s not advised to keep more than one male at a time because males are territorial and will fight each other for the female’s attention.
Peacocks attacks on people are rare, but can happen. The birds can causer property damage if they catch their reflections in a shiny surface.
