Read our privacy policy Martha Stewart is mourning the death of her pet peacocks after they were “devoured” by a pack of “aggressive” coyotes. In the short clip, Blue Boy is seen fanning his feathers at her home in Katonah, New York, while Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” plays in the background. “The coyotes came in broad daylight and devoured him and five others, including the magnificent White Boy.” She called on the advice of her followers, asking: “Any solutions for getting rid of six large and aggressive coyotes who have expensive tastes when it comes to poultry? “And by the way I do not have any idea how the Marvin Gaye music found its way to this sad post, but when Blue Boy was alive it would have been perfectly appropriate.” The animals’ deaths follows shortly after Stewart revealed in November 2021 that her peacocks and peahens were being “liberated” as she was allowing them “daylight freedom – aka run of the farm”.
