Can I just say I absolutely love the photos you post of your birds?In my opinion, the hybridization of India Blue in America is complete. I don't believe that you can actually find any 'pure' IB in the states.
Gerald Barker of Bobs Green Peafowl, @barkerg is the only true conservative of Green peafowl of any consequence here in the states. Yes, there are a few people that have a pair or two but no one has the knowledge, experience, or dedication that man has. He is responsible for providing pureblood Greens back to many countries.
Gerald has offered me pure Imports but quite frankly I do not have any desire to have bat-shit crazy birds that require very large pens, heat in the winter, take four years to mature, and are prone to killing themselves and their mates. Why would anyone above the Mason Dixon line want to?
It takes a very special person under the right set of circumstances to do what he does and thank god that there is someone like him to do it.
Here at Spring Creek Peafowl, we are producing more and more high-quality high percentage Spauldings because it is a beautiful bird that most people in the US can have and appreciate. We are not dooming the fate of the 'pure' Greens, that is something that will be accomplished on its own self.View attachment 2731470View attachment 2731472View attachment 2731474View attachment 2731482
