pictures of William and Kate

the breeder said that they were both India Blue. These are my first, so I will have to take his word for it. Do they look like India Blues to you?

Kate looks like a India blue but William looks to me a little off.. I dunno maybe it's because he's still young.

Here's a pic of my William India blue.

time will tell - your William is very beautiful. My William is just a little over a year old. How old is your guy?

I believe he's about 3 this year.

Your pretty young royal fella is certainly an India Blue.
For comparison, here's our IB boy Twig, around 10 months old (not a member of the Royal Family, but regal nonetheless!):

actually, our setup is pretty simple - the birds are in a large dog run that has been "re-purposed". It is made of Priefert Steel panels and we have common chicken wire across the top to keep them safe. The ground is bare dirt, but there are pavers all around under neath each panel to prevent digging. All of this is inside a 6' privacy fence (we have lots of cayotes and big raptors) This whole thing is attached to a 12x12 Stuff Shed that is fully insulated and has roosting perches, windows and even a sky light. Will try and get out there and take some pictures for you. Right now I am busy moving all of the juvenile birds back in the house - we are under a blizzard warning starting this evening and lasting well into tomorrow. SOOOOO - all of the babies are coming back in. The Peafowl will have a heat lamp in their shed and that will keep them safe. Colorado in the spring is not for whimps, I tell you.

Be careful with the heat lamp, they can be a real fire hazard. Personally, I only use them for babies when I'm starting them out. And I'm still waiting for spring (sigh...) The blizzard is supposed to be south of us, but we are having night time lows around 7F.

Ditto!
Beacuse of the danger and cost to run them, we're going to try one of these this year.
