Is there such a thing as bantam or miniture peafowl? I haven't heard of any. Has anyone else?

I haven't heard of any, myself. A bantam peacock would be adorable.

Now that would be awesome! So, if there aren't any, who's up for the challenge of breeding them into existence? Lol.

I've never heard of bantam peafowl, but I have seen pheasants that look very similar to peafowl!
