Are you interested in serving the peacock meat? Or just in making a fancy presentation? There are period comments about peacock not being particularly delicious and examples of them using the peacock skin and feathers to cover a better tasting bird for presentation.
Since you have the birds, you might also look into doing what is discussed in this file, of saving, tanning and reusing the skin and feathers for future presentations.
