Peacocks and turkeys may share their environment and even socialize, but they are unlikely to develop romantic bonds due to their genetic differences. While peacocks might try to impress turkeys, any interaction between them would not result in offspring. In flocks of wild turkeys, male behavior changes throughout the year, particularly during the mating season, where they often leave after mate copulation. Meanwhile, band-tailed pigeons exhibit certain behaviors such as holding their wings up, possibly to distract predators by simulating injury.
Peacocks and turkeys can live together amicably, but they likely are more companions than amorous partners, as their genetic differences prevent offspring.
During mating season, turkey flocks change size and males typically leave after mating, while females remain with chicks.
A single peacock may join female turkeys for companionship, and a lone female turkey may seek out peacock groups for protection.
Band-tailed pigeons may hold their wings up as a behavior to trick predators into believing they are injured.
