You need to take one of the breast feathers that you say are getting whiter. Can you *honestly* look at that picture and say it's not two hens?

Nice hens! If Thora was a peacock then wouldn't she have the blue feathers on her lorus and blue feathers on the top of the head?

One Pied and two I don't know why the head isn't as blue as it's should be. It's turning that color slowly just as he's becoming more white. But yes when I look at the two of them in person or in a photo I can honestly say I have a male and female. I guess everybody ignores the neck feather I got from Thor and posted a picture.

This photo was yesterday with my phone so it probably sucks. Something I do see is a white breast instead of cream and the white condensing on the neck.

Seriously, how can you expect anyone to look at those pictures and say anything but "nice hens"?

Not to be mean, but some people seem to look at the pics and say "Nice ducks" or "Quack", so I guess people can look at the pics and say something other than "nice hens". Sorry, just thought I'd say this.

My point is that *anyone* with a *basic* knowledge of peafowl is going to say that they're hens. Some people here might say quack or nice ducks, but we'd all know what they meant. I find it hard to believe that birdrain still thinks Thor is male, especially with those newer pictures, 'cause Thor looks more like a hen now than she did a month ago.

I got quite a few people who agree with me that Thor is a male and I believe that Thor is a male. Again the neck feather gets ignored. The people that agree with me have seen Thor in person.
