Hi if you haven't noticed me yet I am new here! I joined for this peafowl section because that is all I have anyways is 5 peafowl.
First off we have me petting Dragon's train. Dragon is my three year old pied white eyed male.
Here is Dragon again. He is very unique because his whole train is regular colored except for one white eye feather in the center of his train.
This is my first ever peahen Ice. She is a three year old blackshoulder. In this picture she is sunning herself.
My first two peafowl were Ice, who I just showed you, and Fire, a India blue male. I didn't know that because they didn't grow up on our place they had a higher chace of leaving so after about two months of being penned I let them out. they stayed for about a month or so then the male left. We sometimes hear about people spotting him but we haven't seen him agian. Ice left several days later, but we were able to find and catch her in someones backyard.
In those days that the birds stayed though, each day was magical. Sometimes I found them running in and out of the barn for no reason! One morning we got up early to watch them fly down from a giant oak tree. That was really something!
This is Ice when she was free-ranging. She is about to jump out of the barn.
Here is Ice again free-ranging. She used to be so scared she stayed in the bushes almost all the time. She isn't like that anymore, the other birds she is penned with taught her she doesn't have to hide all the time it is okay to go out in the open.
This is Fire, my runaway I told you about. He was pretty but I don't think he liked Ice because she was always wanting to hide and do nothing. He picked on her a lot when they were penned together.
I will eventually try and show pictures of the yearlings Pip, Alto, and Damsel. I do have pictures of them but the pictures are not current and they have really grown since most of the pictures, especially Alto the male.
