That is great the way you have those birds so quiet. You must have to spend a great deal of
time with them. Good to see you achieved in getting prize ribbons for them. It's great to get a
reward for passion & interest. When I was a kid I bred fancy pigeons & show them. It was
very rewarding when...
Over the past week I fed my guest & lured him into the pen & caught him. So I took him in to show the misses.
They are a very powerful bird. He takes a fair bit to hold. I don't think he liked being caught. Since I caught him
he is very weary & keeps his distance. I got to get his confidence in...
I think people buy them & don't know how to care for them or feed them or have other birds or chickens to keep them company. When you buy them you should keep them confined in a pen or cage for about 3 or so months so they become territorial & don't roam.
Yes, I left a notice at the corner store & at the post office. If no one claims it with in a couple months I will keep it & then get a peahen for him.
Just see what happens.
Yes he parades around the chickens with his tail raised up in a fan. If he gets to close to the chickens the rooster
starts to chase him. He fan up at the cat & the cat didn't know what was going on. It seems like they are playing
a game when you sit quietly & watch them, funny & good to watch.
I had a surprise the other day when I went to feed my chooks. A male peacock was in with my laying hens. WOW I couldn't believe my eyes
He seems to be only a young bird, just starting to colour up. He has no tail feathers.
He hangs around with the hens & serenades them & the rooster chases him...
