    WHAT IS A PEAFOWL?

    Keep an eye on the facial skin colour of chicks hatched this year. Those chicks nurtured on egg yolks generated from an UK supplemented diet will often resemble wild caught birds in plumage and skin colour - and also in the length of crest plumes. I'm a bit surprised that the colour has not...

    Congo Peafowl perform elaborate flight displays. Both sexes engage in pair bonding rituals year round. They are strongly monogamous.

    Feeding Peafowl

    Ultrakibble is a complete diet in every bite. I'm completely baffled how that is somehow repeatedly trounced over.
