[gaza]

hi group,my 2 peacocks are now 15 months old,and are now starting to grow a tail.
i know that it takes 3 years for a full tail to develope,but was wondering,what size tail should i expect next year?
anyone got any pic of a 2 year old peacocks tail?
thanks

I can't help you there, my male didn't get a train at all until he was 3...

Some of the 2 yr olds around my place had trains that were maybe 15 inches to two feet long total.

Here is a photo of one of my males at 18 months old, he is growing new train now and it is the prettiest thing i ever seen

My other male is getting his first train and he turned a year old in sept of this year .

I think peas develope at a different rate sometimes and some may develope more of a train than others at the same age.

Thanks Deerman


I’m from AU and we still don’t have blackshoulder.

This boy is loud pied(us name) and we call that type of birds reverse pied.

Yes i knew where from, and your people do call them rev, pied.


Now that peacock looks like in the pic. black chest and blue.....even his train each side different color .......so the bird if different from any other rev. pied...really thing "one of a kind"

Wow that is a perfect example of what kind of pieds I like.

He is so beautiful!

Here is my boy Alto earlier this year with his two year old train. He is now currently growing in his three year old train. I am so proud of him!
