Hello,

Wow! I just read the posts about peafowl in hopes of getting some of my own...I am learning all the time!

Sorry I had to laugh picturing this ballon peacock wobbling about in the linked story.

Well, I've never heard of that in peafowl. We had a young robin that happened to after a cat attacked it. My husband inserted a pin at the base of the bubble. The air went out and the bird healed.

How are yours doing? Did you ever find out what happened??
