I don't plan on getting any, and I don't think I ever will, but selling peafowl chicks could make me a decent amount of money if I ever need a side hustle. I wanna know if peafowl, especially peacocks, can be nice, or if they're just mean and protective.

I just got a beautiful Indian Blue peacock and I noticed that his whole tail is an almost rose-gold or dark mauve color rather than green. His shoulder feathers are more gold than green and he has purple mixed in with his blue neck and head. Would he be considered a purple or is he just an odd-ball ..read more

one thing I couldn’t get off my mind is that if it was possible for peafowl such as India blue and green peafowl to hybridize with the Congo peafowl? Is it possible? And if so, has anybody ever seen this before ..read more
