Oopsie Peafowl

Not for much longer. My money is on Black Shoulder Pied WE cock.

Going by everything I’ve read, handling it often could possibly make it mean as an adult. Is there a lot of truth to that?

Not to you but possibly to others. Hens that are imprinted will be very friendly to everyone except other birds. Cocks who have no fear of humans will not tolerate them in their breeding territory and will try to flog and run them away. It is not a guarantee as some cocks are quite friendly to everyone but it can happen. Just like your kids, peas have different personalities too.

Although I have a couple of trained cocks I invite to roost on my arm you don't want a large bird jumping on your shoulder uninvited.

I think I’ve got a peacock!!! I think you are right. I swear it literally grew green feathers overnight on his shoulder/back and his other feathers are showing more of that diamond design. I’m so excited!

I can’t wait to see what he is going to look like when fully mature. I haven’t seen many pictures at all online of peafowl that look like him.

I can't wait to see more pictures. I don't think I've seen one like him before.
