Do Peacocks Drop All Their Plumage At One Time, Or Singley?

New to blurtit and not sure what type of language to use...Do peacocks shed every year? What are the predators of the peacock? Do peacocks breed more than once a year?

    Yes, the male peacock sheds every year, after the breeding season (in their native Asia, i think they shed at the end of summer.) They do have predators; especially, eggs and chicks are vulnerable to attack by hawks, other large birds, and large animals including dogs and (in the wild) big cats. You can find more information on this wild peacock information site.
