Hi Gay,

Thanks for the info. These are fascinating birds.

Are the chicks cute or as homely as their moms? They do seem prolific:-) Sad as it is to think of the chicks becoming dinner for the eagle babies, if they all reached maturity, you'd be over run with peacocks with that many mature ones around.

How did you get started with them? Did you just get a couple and let them loose?

Do the white ones breed true or sometimes have colored chicks? Interesting that the blue and green come from such different places.

Cracks me up that the males display for you, cars and just about anything else that moves:-)
