Pecking can cause severe pain in your palms...why don't you use a thicker gloves as they use in handling Falcons?

That is not important- more amazing to see how the peacock picks the grains with its sharp beaks without hurting the palm!

While responding to the comments, Srinivasan said that he has many peahens in his backyard but they are too shy to pick grains from his hand, unlike the male ones. When a user said that pecking can cause severe pain in palms, Srinivasan said it did hurt and the pain lasts for an hour usually.
