Dr. Todd :

Boggy Bottom: I'd love to see some photos of what your waterfowl facility was like back in the day, it must have really been something to garner the attention of the Bronx Zoo! Can you post some photos?

Dr. Todd

Just found a few is all Dr Todd,
just loaded them over on my migratory/ornamental waterfowl thread. Only found some old ones from just one pen, but better than nothing to show I guess​

Where might you find them? do they mix well with waterfowl... I would like a pair!

There are quite a few breeders with those, they species the others listed, you're not gone find, very few ever come available outside of zoos, and specailist breeders, and they are all in their own little bird click, so you'll never see then for sale.
Look in the Gazette and A.P.W.S., also the GBWF for sale site, also
a few breeders on here with them, chickenzoo, just got some of this years on the east african.
Sid Drenth, www.texaspeafowl.com has them. Doug McNutt has them (DMFarms on here)
The east african are about the most common seen for sell. Yearlings are about $1500 pr, give or take a few hundred.

If you dont come across any from there, PM me, I'll get you some more detailed info on breeders.

as for mixing, never had any myself, but have seen demoiselle in mixed waterfowl collections a lot.
