Our neighbor got some peacocks on his ranch to help with mice and snakes around the house. Has anyone heard of this before? Does it work?

Awful, awful birds.

Cats are much better than peacocks . I have never heard that they keep snakes and mice away, but I guess it's possiible. Some neighbors we had next to property my grandma owns used to have them, you would be deer hunting one morning and hear "HHHHEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWWWW" about every few minutes. It got old real quick
