Pittencrief Park has two new residents - a pair of peahens called Louise and Henrietta.
The birds historically have the freedom of Dunfermline, but numbers have dwindled of late with just one male left, called clive.
Bosses hope the arrival of the two females will result in peachicks being born and a return to more peacocks in the town.
The birds' introduction is part of wider plans to revamp Pittencrief Park, costing £1.6million, £708,900 of which is paid for by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Cara Donald, Pittencrieff Park’s Urban Park Ranger, is pleased to welcome the birds back.
She said: "Both the park and the town have been synonymous with the beautiful bird for a number of years and we look forward to hopefully seeing some peachicks in the near future.
“The peahens will have freedom of the park like peacocks in the past have, although they will always have food and shelter back at the sanctuary. We’d like to ask visitors to be mindful of the new additions when in that area of the park over the next few months though whilst they settle in.”
Clive, the park’s only other peacock, has regularly visited the sanctuary area for a number of years for food and shelter. It also gives staff the chance to medicate him for his arthritis.
Nigel Stevens, whose team works in the park and will help to look after the birds, added: “It’s great to see some company for Clive. Visitors are always very interested in the peacocks and have been looking forward to welcoming more back into the park.”
The peahens are named Louise and Henrietta, chosen by Nigel’s team and the Friends of Pittencrieff Park.
Louise is a nod to Andrew Carnegie’s wife – the gates at the main entrance to the park are also named after her. Henrietta is named after Henry Beveridge, the man who first brought peafowl to Dunfermline in 1905, on his return from India.
