Congrats!

I use IQ Bird Testing. They are also who did my emus for me. It's $13.99 for a feather test or $11.99 for a blood test.

That’s cheap enough.

Are you sure you don't want to keep your little buddy? You can claim to have a rare black mini peacock!

I don’t know. He wasn’t to friendly to me this morning.

@CCUK 's pic of Boomer and Beau inspired me to grab the camera when I saw Doo(#731) and #743 enjoying some alone time in the aviary today. I checked the record and found Doo hatched Jul 13 and #743 on Jul 17 so they are both almost 7 months.

She is a darling! Do you have a mate for her?

She will be a single indoor pet bird. She is already very sweet and someone will always be home to give her attention.

Sounds like a sweet life for her!

@shawluvsbirds here’s the post I was talking about.

Love is in the air here. If I don’t see 3 sets of eggs within the next few days, I will be shocked.
That leaves me with 4 birds that I’m not “positive” on gender, but I might have gotten lucky and have equal numbers of males and females.

Oh ok I see.

So I was wondering if I could install something like this out in my run. . or if it would need to be inside? Run is covered for those who haven't seen it.

Wow! She’s gorgeous!!

It would be fine out in the run. Could even use the existing palace roof, just build the box from the roof down. Then the ducks would still have the space below on the ground. You’d probably want to add a poop tray or use a solid bottom that could be scooped out, but 3 walls with gates on the front, and a few perches is all you need to get started.

ETA - or even a corner loft!
