The Peacock is a Legendary support pet in Grow a Garden, introduced through the Paradise Egg during the Summer Update. While it doesn’t generate direct income or trigger mutations, the Peacock plays a crucial role in boosting efficiency by speeding up the skill cooldowns of other pets, making it a valuable part of any advanced farming strategy.
Here’s a complete breakdown of what the Peacock does, how to get it, and why it’s a strong addition to your pet collection.

Thanks to its relatively high drop rate, Peacock is one of the easiest Legendary pets to obtain from the Paradise Egg, making it a practical option for players looking to build support-focused setups.
What Does the Peacock’s Passive Do?
The Peacock’s passive is simple but impactful:
-
Cooldown reduction: All pets on your farm get their skill cooldown reduced by 60.92 seconds
-
Interval: Triggers every 9.57 minutes automatically
-
Effect Range: Global – applies to all pets on the plot
-
No manual activation required
This allows pets like Raccoon, Dragonfly, Disco Bee, or Scarlet Macaw to trigger their abilities more frequently, amplifying the effects of your entire team.
Why Use Peacock in Your Farming Strategy?
1. Boosts High-Cooldown Pets
Some pets have cooldowns of 10–20 minutes or longer. Peacock shortens these timers, letting you benefit from:
-
Faster fruit duplication (Raccoon)
-
Quicker growth boosts (Dragonfly)
-
More mutation chances (Scarlet Macaw)
This is especially useful in AFK or macro farming setups, where every extra skill cycle increases your yield.
2. Fully Passive, No Management Needed
The Peacock requires no interaction. Just place it on your farm and let it do its job. Over time, it becomes a multiplier for other pets’ effectiveness.
3. Strategic Synergy in Large Builds
In endgame setups where multiple pets are used simultaneously, the Peacock amplifies compound benefits by lowering all their cooldowns in sync.
For example, pairing Peacock with:
-
Capybara (to keep pets from going hungry)
-
Mimic Octopus (to rapidly rotate through other pet abilities)
-
Peacock x 2 setups for overlapping cooldown cycles
This type of synergy makes it highly valuable for competitive or advanced farming strategies.
Is Peacock Worth the Investment?
While it doesn’t bring direct output like money or seeds, the Peacock’s cooldown utility:
-
Saves time in long-term setups
-
Boosts frequency of all other effects
-
Works especially well with high-tier Legendary pets
-
Has a 30% drop rate, making it fairly easy to acquire
It’s not a priority for beginners, but for players with multiple active-effect pets, Peacock is an essential part of the meta.
Final Thoughts
The Peacock in Grow a Garden is a Legendary support pet that shines in synergy-heavy farming setups. Its passive effect, which reduces all pet cooldowns by nearly a minute every 9.57 minutes, makes it ideal for players who rely on active pet abilities for fruit duplication, growth speed, mutations, or XP farming.
With a 30% hatch rate from the Paradise Egg, it’s one of the most accessible Legendary pets and a great addition for advanced players seeking automation, optimization, and time-saving advantages.
