The feathers were used in liturgical fans for a long time, now most are metal. They were also a symbol of never ending life.

I am not sure how reliable this site above is on other things pertaining to Christianity, but I do believe that it is right about the symbolism of the peacock. Hope this helps!

Rebirth.
The Ancients believed that the flesh of a peacock didn't rot, so it's frequently found in depictions of Christ's Nativity to foreshadow His Resurrection.

They both make sounds like a little girl screaming.
P.S. I'm serious, if you've ever seen a real peacock that's terrified, they really do make noises like that.
Edit: Why the TD? It was just a joke. And this question is stupid anyway.

Well, I'm a Christian and to me a peacock is a pretty bird? I wasn't aware it was supposed to have a meaning?

better yet, get the whole story
The Bestiary of Christ (Paperback)
by Louis Charbonneau-Lassay (Author), D. M. Dooling (Translator)
"Just before the outbreak of the Second World War in Europe, a little-known Roman Catholic scholar published a compendium of animal symbolism that ranks with the greatest of the classical and medieval bestiaries. Louis Charbonneau-Lassay's Le Bestiaire du Christ (The Bestiary of Christ) was a tour de force that brought together the findings of a lifetime of scholarship in religious symbols

To me a peacock is another of Gods beautiful creations. If we look around us we can see many of his beautiful creations every day.

Never heard of that..as far as I ma concerned it is just a Bird with very pretty Feathers.

They actually make good watch Birds as they are territorial and make a lot of Noise when someone comes onto your property that they do not recognize.
