Here is a place for us to share how we catch and treat our peafowl.

Has anyone mentioned that stressed pea poop is NOT normal poop? Its toxic on a whole other level. And they do it every time! So yes, be prepared for scratches and throwing your clothes off and showering asap after catching said peas!
What do you folks think of this one?

That one is 24" diameter with a collapsible handle. It comes with a choice of soft or stiff netting. @birdman55 , which netting did you get on your net, and do you like it?
I throw a sheet over him and pounce
I got the smaller of the nets...and love it...its way better then a fishing net and causes less headaches when trying to take the bird out of the net....I havnt tried with adult peafowl yet because I don't have any that age yet...so I will let you guys know on how it goes I shall take photos as well...and post them...ill be handling the birds very soon...for I might get 5 new peafowl in so I have to get the hang of handling the large bird...but I would assume the big net is more effective with larger birds and prolly easier to catch.....when I go to a very good breeder of peafowl and he is old school he actually picks the birds up by the wings (both of them closest to the back.) on the back of the bird and they are very calm when he handles them this way...he showed me how to do it and how easy it was and he did it quite fast for an elderly guy...I was impressed on how he handled his birds and how calm they were during the process...so not sure if anyone else has ever tried this method or if it is even safe...hope this helps..
