Peafowl tail animation?

Other than peafowls doing the occasional fight of doing kicks.
Has anyone seen the tail open up like in the trailers? I haven't seen one yet in the 30 ingame years.

I have literally never seen it happen. IDK if its intended, a bug, or I just haven't been watching at the right moments. But when you have an enclosure with like 30 peafowl, you think it'd happen at least once.
 
Already posted it here:

and reported it on the issue tracker, you might confirm it there so the Devs might hurry to solve it:

The QA-Team already noticed this issue.
 
Haven't seen one , feels like a 'must have this -interaction' for a peafowl.

Hope they add it, in the near future..

Exact same for me. Nearly 40 in-game years, probably had 100+ Peafowl and nothing. They lift their tails like they're about to show their feathers but then put them back down again. Would be so nice too see how my Albino's look with their white tails. 🤩

Yea like... it was shown in previous behind the scenes videos as well. and up front and center in the launch trailer.... so how does this get missed out?
 
I think, I once read in the forum that they are looking into it. Seems like a bug or any other problem, that wasn't intended

Hey there. How large and full are your enclosures? It may be that there is not currently a large enough space for these animations to play out. It could also be an issue though so do please report it on the Issue Tracker so our team can take a look.
 
I'd be happy to give my peafowls my entire zoo to roam around in if Frontier would let me - nudge nudge wink wink.

I so want to do that! In the past I have worked in 2 different jobs (irl) where there were Peafowl wandering around. It surprised me that peachicks can fly at less than a week old! irrelevant but interesting fact.

My enclosure is pretty massive and I have never seen it.

I didn't think it was a bug, I just assumed they never did that and the animation was removed.
 
My enclosure is definitely large and open enough, I think.
If space to display animations is what is preventing animals from behaving as they should, is there a way to reprogram that? To make the required space smaller? Even if things occasionally clip, I’d rather see my animals socialising and displaying than not.
