I lost my java peahen recently too due to neighbor's dog. She was my baby. I was devistated. Sister to the one you had I believe.Thank you!!!Love the fluffy cheek chicks! As far as peafowl...Mine seem to only be loud during breeding season, (summer). The rest of the time they serve as night guards because if they yell, something is wrong and I run out there. Of course, I have macaws and Guineas too, so maybe I'm deaf now..... We recently lost the best pet ever. A pea hen named Crombie. She followed us everywhere, would sit down beside us, wanted to be cuddled and have her head petted and cheeks scratched. We could even be trimming brush using chainsaws and a brush chipper and she was always right under foot ready to help. Just thought I'd share how special they can be. The peacocks can be too aggressive if raised too tame, but the peahens are incredible.
