Show off your Peas!

I found a photo on the web of a 2 year old black shouldered peacock

Well...he looks just like mine!

It just takes blackshoulder males a little longer to fully color out than other varieties. I think sometimes it can even take them 4 years before they have totally black wings.

Emerald's feathers are looking straightened out now after shipping.

I'm getting more pictures of him because i'm going to sell him before breeding season starts.

I have a 12 year old BS male and he still has a couple of wing feathers with a little bit of that cream color on them, just a little.

Today I put Sevin Dust all over the peafowl pen. I put it in all the dust bathing locations as well as on the perches. Peep jumped up on a log so I put some on him too. I put it on his back and some of his chest, and on his train. Then I got some in my hands (I was wearing gloves) and put a tiny bit near both of Peep's ears where the bird lice hide. I saw lots of them crawl out so I hope the dust is doing its job. I wasn't sure how much to put on him. He started displaying and when he shaked you could smell the dust. When he started displaying I sprinkled some on his butt feathers too. The other birds I didn't want to catch so hopefully they will take a dust bath and get the sevin on them and of course their roosts are covered with it too.

Here are some photos I found today from April 2014 of Shyanne blocking the pen door:

Every spring when the males are preoccupied with displaying I will sneak up and Sevin dust their butts too. I wish the hens would do the same, hard to get dust on them, so I rely on putting it in their favorite dirt patches and hoping they do it themselves.

I would put the dust in the dust bath spots or where they roost. Also one of my peacocks I lost 3 years ago decided to pay a visit back to where he came from to see the girls and his brother. How I know it's him because I'm the only person with peafowl in a long ways.

Can you catch him?
