First day of the 2018 United Peafowl Association Convention in Kansas City group picture.

Bob's from Bob's Green Peafowl giving a most excellent presentation on Green and Spalding Peafowl.

Phil Phillips of Tall Tails giving a presentation on genetics. Wow, that guy knows his stuff!

Sorry, I did not get a picture of Twain Lockheart of Nutrena Feeds, he was very entertaining and informational!

Yours truly giving a workshop on doing fecal exams at home.

Loretta Smith giving a presentation on fixing slipped tendons.

Candy Vinduska helping with the auction.

Saturday we are all going to Leggs Peafowl for an open house and tour. Lots of birds will be going to new homes tomorrow. A great time was had by all!

So great that you all had a chance to meet and mingle in person, it's a rare opportunity. Also a great chance to learn first-hand from experienced peapeople.
Thanks for the photos @KsKingBee!

Loretta has shared her thoughts with me on fixing slipped tendons, and while I disagree with her on the causes of perosis (she says high protein, I say manganese/vit. B deficiency), I agree on some of the elements of orthopedic treatment. I have been taping my IB dark pied for about 5 weeks, and he's about 85% improved. She encouraged me to keep up with it, and she was right about that.

Do you have any pictures that show how you tape it?

No, but I can take some when I tape him up tonight. He began having some pretty alarming issues when he was about 5-6 weeks old. He's 10 weeks old now.
