Great Argus

I have bought birds from Stuart in the past and he keeps some really interesting species, and I was looking at getting a pair from him as well as another breeder. I am still looking around at this point only because when the time comes I would like to have more then one option. The price is about the same from everyone I found, some more some less but in the 3K range plus or minus. I think the bird is very much worth the price but I have spent a lot more for an animal in the past so maybe my perception on prices is warped I am getting a pair of ocellated turkeys and I am putting a deposit on them in August (until he has chicks he is not taking orders or deposits) that are in the same price range. I have to put thermostatically controlled heaters in the coops for both of these species as it gets really cold here in the winter.

Ocellated Turkeys are one of my favorite birds, not many compare to their beauty. I want to get some eventually, but it gets too cold here too, and I am planning on building a green house to keep them in for the winter.

There is a guy in Texas that has a breeding pair or Argus, and in fact has some Peafowl that you'd be amazed by.
