Show off your Peas!
You can PM them to me, or you can email them. Whichever is easiest. My email is on my website here: http://bamboopeacock.com/Contact.html I didn't want to directly post it. -

If you ever do this again try putting blue hair chalk in your hair. It makes your hair look like you dyed it without the permanent, damaging effects. Does anyone have some nice photos they wouldn't mind me using in the magazine? The first magazine is at the printers and I am working on the... -

#1 looks like a hen because the small flight feather, which you can see best in the last photo, has stripes all over it. Hens will have this barring and males will not, although at a young age males can have markings here as well, but this one has so many stripes I get the feeling it is a hen... -

Thanks! Yes the Javas and Imperators are very similar looking. The Burmese are easier to identify. Imperators look more golden-green to me while Javas are just more green. Both will have bright wings, but the Javas get a very solid, bright electric blue-green shine. The Imperators have nice... -

Yesterday I got some more photos of Raptor. He was pecking the camera. -

Thank you he just recently grew in those more adult looking crest feathers. He didn't want to stop displaying today, so I got very few photos of him standing. I will try getting some back and shoulder shots tomorrow but here are some that might be more helpful: -

Thanks I don't mind at all saying where I got him from. Raptor is an Imperator that I got from @AugeredIn - I think he has 2-3 adult pairs of Imperators. I forgot exactly who AugeredIn got his adult greens from but he hasn't had them all that long... Hey AugeredIn is Raptor related to Elton... -

Today I took a few photos of the peafowl. I didn't get any photos of my adult peahens because they all left the big aviary and were snooping around in the peachick's pen eating any leftover food they had and jumping in the dog boxes. Frosty started displaying. He has proven to be a really... -

Wow thanks for your example DylansMom. KsKingBee's sexing method of using the washer and the string was something I tried last year. My result was 50/50 with it. It correctly told me Raptor was a male when he was a young peachick, but it also told me that Flip Flop was a male when she was... -

I am thinking the white is a male because the tail (not the train but the tail) has tall middle feathers. If the white is taller/larger looking when it is next to that peahen in the background it probably is a male. Keep an eye on the spurs and the train feathers to be sure. Generally males will... -

I have only had one person argue that with me about whites being albinos and rare. I was at a parrot rescue that has a few free-range peacocks. They had India blue, pieds, and a white. I was telling them that the birds that have splotches of white are called pieds and they were interested in the... -

I love it when non-peafowl people freak out when they find out you have white peafowl. Many people think they are rare. My white peacock Frosty has started displaying a lot. I keep forgetting to bring the camera. -

I read that green peacocks will start mimicking the call of an India Blue variety peacock if they hear it. Have you found this to be true? When I read that it was disappointing to me because I rather like the different noise that the greens make, and I don't want my young green peacock to change... -

Raptor really loves to fan. I still really wish I had a video of him trying to make a mating call. He sounds sooo terrible! He just makes a terrible squealing noise. -

Beautiful peafowl and other animals everyone! I finally uploaded a video of Raptor and Flip-Flop being taken outside to eat bugs and play. Of course they are much bigger and prettier now than they are in the video. -

I love it when their train is at that length. It is more solid looking and I like how close the eyes and butterfly feathers are at that stage. -

Yeah I read the 4 to 5 years as well but I think it is just the same as India Blues. Oh yeah you have plenty of time. -

I think he only has 2 or 3 pairs of Imperators at this time. Of course Rocking B-A-B has the American Javas and the imported ones. Although since you want Javas after college by that time Zazouse's Javas will probably be producing chicks or very close to it. Then there is Elton Housely who... -

Haha I like to think of my peafowl as my models. My peahen Ice, who I have had the longest, seems to pose for me. Raptor is still getting used to the camera but he is doing way better than he did when he was younger. He used to be very afraid of the camera. Mine recognize the blue coffee can...
