I like that Pied bird. FBC,
Margret are you sure they are the same birds in the Picture, they do not look it to me at all.

I'll have to snap some Pics, soon I have nice Trains coming in this year.

My Purple Black Shoulder Silver Pied 4 year old male named Phonecian looking for a possible get-a-way if I get any closer

Two pics of my Bronze male named UPS after their slogan "What can brown do for you?" In my case this brown coud be black shoulder and have a train full of white eyes but then again,,wish in one hand,,

My Opal b/s male named Opie who still has several feet of train to grow.

This is my favorite Peacock here at the Palace,my Black Shoulder Silver Pied male named Roadtrip. Not exactly impressive at this point but I will post a pic next of how much of this inside pen he takes up with a full-blooming train.He's getting very vocal as with some other males inside now.

This was taken last February. the pen is 8' across and you can see Roadtrip is a proud peacock with his train touching each side of the pen walls

Margaret, your two pictures are not of the same birds!

Here, you will see a hen on the left.
*The red arrow points to the solid brown-grey feathers she has on her wing.
The yellow arrow points to her distinctive white-edged breast feathers.
Also, the top of her head is brown.



Here are your two blackshoulder boys.
The yellow arrows point to their characteristic BS feathers that are black and white together on one feather.
None of their feathers are the solid brown-grey of hens.
Their heads are both white/light, not like the brown of the hen above.

This is my IB B/S male that last year I first noticed white coming in his train.He will be five years old this spring and the white is getting more noticable but still very slow to completely cover the eye in white.I'm putting him in with three IB hens that all have white flights this year so hopefully we'll get some b/s males with stronger-faster white coming in.
