Note: This is not my bird, it's one I sold two months ago and it was one that was raised indoors and off the ground, it was healthy and parasite/protozoa free when it left here.
Got a call yesterday from someone that I sold two young peacocks to two months ago saying that both were looking sick a few days ago. I told him I would come get the dead one and the one still alive and try to save it, but it died four hours after I brought it home.
Symptoms:
Here he is looking very stoic three hours before he died. You can't tell from the picture, but he's about 1kg (2.2 pounds) underweight.
Here is a poop picture, but it looked much more yellow than it does here.
Here are the necropsy pictures from one of the peacocks.
Liver and cecal pouches
Contents of cecal pouch - black liquid poop, NOT normal!
Inside of cecal pouch
Liver with the blackhead spots and I think the black edges are necrotic
