Green Peafowl Information!!

[zazouse]

One of my white peas is out of a spalding pair and i think i may have an agression problem with him when he gets older, he is not a pet but all my peas eat out of my hand but he pecks and pecks my fingers tail raised and hisssing only pea i ever heard do that to me, i also have a female spalding and she is not that way so i think it just depends on the bird, like other animals you just don't know till you have them.

I will just die if my beloved P-Dawg ever does that to me!

I am real good at catchen birds by the feet.. Mr Tubbs decides to jump at me i will hang him upside down by his feet.. give him a min to think about who the real head pea is around here..

that don't work oh well Time for dinner.

I think they inherit aggression to some extent .. Tubbs dad was an aggressive Peacock from what the breeder told me

Dang what a wild photo Minxfox. Like casportpony said. I hope I dont ever get on the end of that with my two. Wooooo!!!

No Mini , that is not my photo but it looks like my bird did when I come to his pen.. another one I had some time back had never give me a problem but one morning in an early breeding season he jump-ed me from behind and I heard the sound and turned around just in time to get hit across the face and still have scars like an X across my forehead...No I am not suggestion that all greens are mean as I have some that are "normal" , I think some are just that way. More so during breeding season. ... Just like people ... George

Here's some info I would love to know. Leaving the sub-species of greens out of this question entirely for the moment.BTW. We can touch on this later of course

Is there a test that can be performed on a live bird to determine exactly wether the bird has India blue in it or not ? Spaulding or a pure green to be simpler. Maybe this it is not such a simple question to answer. Either way I have never seen this question asked so bluntly. Im thinking. No there is not. I would think most purity debates would end immediately.Unless the test is very expensive,complicated or both. Either way still wanted to know. I just dont want them to become extinct is all. Anyway I would gladly include my birds for any such study or breeding program to save this from happening. Thats about all I could do.

Hello DD,
I know that such a test is possible. At the moment I don’t know which institutes are able to do it, but I know that such tests were made in Thailand and other countries in the past.
It is definitely not possible to determine the sub-species but it is possible to test the peafowl if he pure or has some Indian Blue genes.
For the test are fresh feathers needed which you have to pull out. I don’t know anything about the costs, but I think it will not be a big problem to find it out.

That picture is crazy MinxFox!!!! I know what u mean about not telling the parents so you can have some, but even then all breeds and animals have some that are aggressive and some that are not aggressive. its exactly the same as dogs, a Rottweiler or boxer can be soo sweet have great personality and be very loving and loyal, but then you can have aggressive guard dogs, fighting dogs, and dogs that will attack certain people, animals or children for what looks like no reason at all. its how they are raised, and if they feel they or their mate are being threatened they will attack. yes I know some just have an aggressive personality and find or act as if everything and everyone is a threat or rival. but I am willing to take that risk to have some because you never know. I have had many great ones.

UC Davis does lots of equine DNA teasing, maybe someone there would know.
