Peeps, I provided a link to my animal collection weeks ago. Deerman somehow missed it and brought it up again so I provided the link again. He's brought it up again and again. ]I'd really prefer to stay on topic here and discuss the different forms of green peafowl on this thread. I'm not talking about animal husbandry in this thread nor am I talking about my personal collections. I'm also getting bored discussing deerman.

Whatever happened to this thread?

It is a great thread,
This work resolution has been doing is great,
Down here in Australia we are all java mad, as this is what the birds where meant to be, but if we get honest there is not many java's at all
It's a shame that it is easier to run people down rather than embrace, knew ideas in feed and the location of where the original stock may have come from, even if the paper work says other wise.
It's hard changing our ideas when we think we are right,
I noticed some feed ideas seem impractical but how hard is it to grate a few sweets, carrot and beets and hand mix it into your feeding program and add some knew items which isn't normally on our shopping list
We habitual people seem to hate change.
I have notice alot of birds in the US that are called java and they seem to have smaller double or split crests and not solid blue wings more greener.can someone please explain how that is so? When the wild ones look different, Even though I am told the old import papers say java,
I think back 30 years ago most greens were called java's and if you were catching and exporting pheasants and caught a few greens as well, there is more chance of them being from china than java? Would any one agree?
It will be sad to find out that we aviculturists had some pure birds Even today but over the years have bastardized them, I am not talking about spauldings. green peafowl live along time and no doubt there are pure of most types in capitivly all around the world and something should be done to prevent the conitual deconstruction of these birds, I would say it would be 1000 times easier to maintain pure types than reconstruct them?
We should all get behind resolution's work and help conserve these awesome birds and the only way is through DNA.

Thanks Birdienumnums,

I think people that really love green peafowl should supportFritz in Thailand. Please write him a letter and encourage him to keep up the great effort. Too, these wonderful forum contributors like Franky, MinxFox, Dany and Clifton- and everyone else- not trying to forget anyone- but you know who you are- the new generation- the ones with passion and dedication- good for you. Let's all encourage and nurture their interests- send them photos- collaborate!

No these are not. These were pictures from breeders from GBWF. The last two photos belonged to Richard Schock

These birds are definitely composite with maybe javanensis, imperator siamensis and muticus genes. The demarcation of the blue on the heads is very strange and unlike typical imperators. Resolution did mention about these birds before. Before the imports from Europe these would be considered the typical american "Java Greens".

As for the first two pictures, the younger bird appears to be a hybrid while the male appears to be composite Green Peafowl at the least; the female has quite some brown on the wings and could either be Hue Imperator or hybrid. Quite a bit of demarcation on the neck if those are imperators.

Richard Schock has amazing stock. Anyone would do right by starting with his composite as there is absolutely no cristatus demes anywhere in the gene pool and he only used the best green stock available in USA before the recent imports. I think they are probably the best stock I've seen for American Evergreen - he is obviously a true steward not a wheeler dealer.
