But these birds do have a number of predators in their native habitat including wild dogs, raccoons and even tigers. There are only three species of peafowl – the Indian peafowl, the green peafowl and the Congo peacock – and they are all members of the pheasant family.he feathered tail is the most prominent feature of a peafowl, and whipping out this tail when approached can scare a predator away. At night peafowl roost in groups in high branches of leafy trees to protect themselves.
