Ok I wrote to our USDA /APHIS office asking about the ban on peafowl. Hope this helps both sides is getting the ban removed. Here is my Email (blue text) and the reply (red text) I received:

Hi,
Can you please tell me how long the ban will last to import peafowl from Northern Thailand? It is considered poultry and I was looking into Importing a trio (1 male and 2 females) of wild Green Peafowl (Pavo muticus imperator). If I am allowed to import them can you please tell me what paperwork I will need.
Thank you for your time, it is much appriciated,

Hello, I received your email inquiry about the current US ban on Thailand. The ban has been in place for several years and will be removed once Thailand has satisfied our criteria that will allow the US to consider them to be free from highly pathogenic avian influenza. When the country will present scientific data to our government that represents their surveillance and eradication efforts, is undetermined. Until such activity takes place by Thailand, the ban will remain in place. We are allowing pet birds only to import from such affected countries, but do not allow poultry of any type, to import. Your proposed import would not be allowed.
Sincerely,

Dr. Helm

Compare them and form them in your opinion
I do not give a comment. This can do the experts.
Maybe all peacocks in the nature are hybrids

Nice pictures. I can't tell the difference because their wing coverts are very similar (having the blue outline). Wasn't the java supposed to not have the blue outline?

Very beautiful images, thank you for sharing.

Really wonderful pictures, it is a rare treat to see how they look in their native habitat.
These pictures make me wonder if they are used to having people around even though they are wild; they must attract a lot of attention!

Yea everything i read about green blood kept me from persuing them because it is said they can not be free ranged and are wild but that does not seem to be the case from looking at some of the wonderful photos i have seen here lately.

Really? I didn't know about them not being able to free range. I learned something new. I love the colors. That is my dream pea!

Do we have any BYC'ers that have this type of pea?

 

[zazouse]

Not that i know of, i mean i don't know anyone that raised some up and turned them loose and created a bond with them like i have with my peas.
They were naughtey today chasing something in the ditch that runs along the driveway that leads to the main road but i caught them and we walked back home togeather .
