Peafowl and hop plants
You can also put up small wire temporary fencing around the area you are designating for the vine so that the peafowl can't reach through and eat it. I had to do a lot of testing to figure out what plants I could keep in my peafowl aviary. Generally thicker plants or plants that grow quickly... -
Free range vs cages
Several years ago when I got my first pair of peafowl I free-ranged them after keeping them penned for several months. My peacock ran away the day before Christmas, and my parents didn't have the heart to tell me. The female soon followed. We caught her in someone's backyard but the male was... -
peacocks at zoos
Good to see you again too! Hope you had a good year for birds. -
Green jungle fowl
Even more interesting is that they both live in about the same areas in the wild if I am recalling correctly. -
peacocks at zoos
I would look into researching bird parks such as the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park which has peacocks as well as many other birds. You could design a giant free-flight aviary or multiple themed free-flight aviaries. Most zoos don't have enclosures for peafowl and just have them free-roaming. Many... -
Peacock 'chattering' his beak?
Is your peacock still acting this way? It is hard to say for sure what it is without seeing it, but I know with my birds they do what I call 'beak adjusting' where they don't always start eating right away, they just keep chattering their beak like you said and they might do that a bit before... -
Peachicks of 2017, Show Us Your Babies!
I believe I used one of your photos for last year's Chick Mania. May I use some of these again? These group peachick photos you do are amazing! Hi KsKingBee, I do love this photo of both pied chicks together If I could use this in the magazine. Also, I like the photo of the peachicks outdoors... -
Peachicks of 2017, Show Us Your Babies!
Hi everyone, I am currently working on the Chick Mania issue of the Peafowl Today magazine. Please send in peachick pictures for the center of the magazine if you are interested. If you send photos, please also include your name and/or farm name and the variety of the peachick pictured. Thank... -
Peacock attack
Perhaps the way he was raised where you bought him from has to do with it - or his personality type could just be mean. From what I have read about aggressive peacocks, when breeding season gets closer is when they start getting aggressive again. Also, I kind of think that when you buy an... -
A paradise for tourists ... not a paradise for peacocks!
There are videos of this place on YouTube. They call the peacocks using a whistle to let them know it is time for food and then the peacocks fly over the lake and to the shore where they are fed. In some videos, a few of the peacocks are displaying but most of them have messed up train feathers... -
Peacock attack
Did he ever act this way when he was with the hens? Does he have hens free-ranging with him now? I have two imprinted peacocks and one imprinted peahen. I haven't seen this behavior yet and I asked some peacock trainers who imprint their peacocks (they have at least 7 peacocks) and train them... -
Fighting Peacock
That is interesting. I haven't really had issues with an adult male having issues with a yearling male. It is when they become two years old that the adult males will take notice of them and perhaps decide to chase them. How large is your pen? My pen is large enough that if a young male was... -
We have lost one of our own, RIP @Dylansmom
That was the photo! Thank you so much new 2 pfowl! -
We have lost one of our own, RIP @Dylansmom
Loretta told me to include a tribute to Mindy in the Peafowl Today magazine. I didn't realize at first that Mindy was Dylansmom...She was such a wonderful lady - It makes me regret not getting on BYC as much anymore. If anyone has anything in particular you would like me to publish about Mindy... -
Looking for peahens
Thanks I will have to check B-A-B's site. I forgot that they are always updating it with new birds for sale. I am glad AugeredIn had a hen for you. I texted him asking if he saw this topic and he told me he was already selling you a hen.
