When is a Peacock (or Peahen) a listable bird

When it is in India, of course.

But what about the rest of the world?

We met these members of the Peafowl family in Victoria on October 4.  They are apparently recognized as a feral breeding bird in that area.  They've showed up on Ebird many times.  

These Peafowl were in London, England, in 2010.  They show up on the Ebird list.

But there are no Peafowl showing on ebird in Saskatoon where we saw these in 2014.  So does that make them domestic birds?  Even though they wandered around loose and appear to have had babies?

This beautiful Peacock was in Mazatlan in 2020.  Like Saskatoon, there are no Peafowl recorded in Mazatlan ever.  More domestic fowl, it appears.

But it does seem that we can call the Peacocks in BC a new bird to our list--since I didn't add them in 2010.
