There are many beliefs and myths about peacocks.
Peacock feathers indoors: Good luck, harmony, serenity, peace of mind, relaxation and protection are all associated with the magnificent peacock.
The peacock is considered to be a bird of protection and safe guarding. This bird is also valued as a protection for the psychic self. There has been lore that writes that to have a peacock feather within the home this helps to safe guard any of the energy in the environment. Some consider them a gift from the Creator. The peacock brings harmony and joy to our mind. This bird is majestic, proud with much expression and as the male bird walks and dances to the female in courting. This reminds us of the celebration in life.
NBC displays the peacock with its tail feathers full of All-Seeing Eyes. In Hinduism... 'when the god Indra transforms himself into an animal, he becomes a peacock. In India the peacock was believed to have a thousand eyes in its feathers... In Java, the peacock was associated with the Devil. In Mosul in northern Iraq, there is a sect of Yezidis who hold that the Devil is not evil, and call him the Peacock Angel.'
Hindu: The myth is that the peacock "has angels' feathers, a devil's voice, and the walk of a thief." It is the mount of Sarasvati, goddess of wisdom and learning. It is also, sometimes, a vehicle of Lakshmi and of Brahma. When it is mounted by Kama, god of love, it represents desire. Hindu gurus are fond of using peacock feathers in darshan to deliver shaktiput to their disciples.
Japan & China: Its feather is an attribute of the goddess Kwannon.
Greek: The emblem of the bird-god Phaon. Associated with Hera, who is credited with scattering the "Argus Eyes" over its tail.
Egypt: It sometimes accompanies Isis.
Babylon. Persia: Both had a peacock throne.

Who cares if they're lucky or unlucky. They're very pretty. I have four in my room as an arrangement in a vase...I shortened the shafts to make them more manageable (about 2 ft long now instead of 3 ft), then put them in a nice blown glass vase, with unusual and highly coloured river stones (that I collected myself). It's a quite striking arrangement. I also have a clover plant in my garden that is bearing 5, 6 and 7 leaf clovers, both in green and albino. I told my daughters that it's wasted on us, because none of us believe that 4 leaf clovers bring luck (although it's been a good source for the kids show and tell).

Sorry I don't know why they are considered unlucky. I guess I never understood the whole good luck bad luck thing. If peacock feathers are bad luck then why are rabbits feet considered good, cause it could not have been good for the Wabbit.
