I think most breeders in the native range either catch them wild or take their eggs... Unfortunately some birds, like that lone Imperator at Hanoi's Ho Chi Minh Garden, are raised like that, living in a cramped cage with only an Indian Peahen and some pheasants to keep company! I think it really should stop. It may be hard to find Wild Green Peafowl, and it should remain that way, hidden away in mystery and living their own life instead of being hunted after.
A few years ago I was in Taiwan and a baby Bulbul fell from the tree. People like me and a few other park visitors tried to help it, but then someone who claimed to have some "experience" came to the park. He thought it was it was too late to give the bulbul back to its parents and therefore he took it away. He tried hiding the chick from the adults which were angry. There was nothing we could do to stop him; he claims he's done this all the time with squirrels and birds and that there are no real park rangers that care about these animals. He had already held the chick by then which would mean it may get rejected by its parents. I've also seen people sell a NET of birds that have been wild-caught, such as Mynahs and Turtle Doves, I was utterly disgusted and although there are laws protecting wildlife, they do it when no cops are watching. Birds like white finches are used for "fortune telling". Fortunately this time around I didn't these sorts of sellers.
