Peafowl

First of all before I started. Wishes all the blogger and reader an Merry Christmas for those that celebrated Christmas.

Peafowl is two species of bird in the genus PAVO of the pheasant Families. We been keeping and breeding peafowl for quite sometimes now. For sale or for display purpose. They consist of two type of peafowl. Indian Peafowl and Javanese Peafowl. Male peafowl are famous for it beautiful tails and whereas female peafowl usually brown in colors. Male are called peacock, the female peahen. Peafowl are gruesome and they do not mix well with other domestic pets and it utters unpleasant sound usually before rainfall. In the wild they sometimes eat a baby Cobra.

I might have confuse to name some genus of the peafowl. Javanese Peafowl are also called green peafowl. Javanese peafowl can be hybridize with an Indian Peafowl and create offspring call spauldings. The long ornamental feather, which the peacock display show magnificently before peahen in courtship, are not it true tail feathers but an elongated tails of the upper tail convert. In courtship, the tail convert are elevated to form a massive, lacy fan supported by behind by the unadorned tail feathers. So anyone that interested in keeping peafowl, I might have one baby. Not sure I'm selling it or not yet. But if the price is right I will sell it. Email me(for only serious buyer) if you interested, Be prepare to spend substantial amount of money coz I'm not selling it cheap.

In the same time, Few of our bird had also hatched, 6 already been transfer to big enclosure and 2 still left in the incubation room waiting for the birds to get strong and healthy .

Guess what bird is that? For those bird enthusiastic. U might have seen it before if u ever been to Agriculture expo last November. Few of those bird were on display there and my guess no one have it yet as private individual collector except maybe us in Brunei and maybe you also might have try it red meat. A very tasty low cholesterol meat. Happy guessing.

Hint: This bird is the symbol of a country coat of arms flag.
