I don’t think the guy had purple peacocks though. But do you cross them to get purple? Also what do the purple ones look like? The pics on the internet look fake. Lol

here's my purple boy in February, when his train is brand new and looks a lot more like a normal train:

Then he goes full glorious purple through most of the summer:

And then he bleaches out in the sun to this by the end of summer:

Purples are AMAZING. And to answer your question about genetics and purples, since purples are sex linked if you are SURE the breeder had no purples AND no whites out of purples, then a split purple male could still produce some purple hens (and split-purple males).

It is great that you can spend soo much time with your birds, beautiful in all ways.

My PBS is also at his full glory in February and by July is a ruddy brown. I am now ready to just pull all those brown train feathers.

It's not that much actually! 10 minutes in the morning before I work leave for work, and 15-20 right when I get home before I do chores (they're my winding down time because it's so nice to sit with them), they're just really sweetly temperamented. You know how purples are lil lovebugs

He is honestly one of THE (if not THE) most beautiful birds out there still. I am itching to get some of his kids!!
