Funny thing about this...So Peep of course sees me as a potential mate and will make the mating call and come running trying to mate with my foot, but the other day the white peacock, Frosty, did this to me! I raised Frosty from a little peachick but I did not hatch him and he was certainly not imprinted to me. Him and his sisters were the wildest peachicks I have ever had. So I thought it was funny that I am considered a mate to even a non-imprinted male. Maybe that is why they get mad at Peep for displaying to me.Sometimes the imprinted males will get aggressive toward people when they mature, they grow up thinking Peas and humans are the same thing, so eventually they see you as either a potential mate or a potential rival. This is the risk with imprinted males, I think imprinted hens are usually fine. I did not intend to imprint mine, but have found that the Spaldings seem to imprint much quicker than the blue varieties, at least mine do.
That is interesting that you have found the Spaldings to be quicker to imprint. When Zaz and I get green peachicks I know both of us will be hoping to tame them down. Perhaps if Spaldings tame quickly green peafowl will tame quickly too?
