Hello all,
TLDR: 12 yo hand raised male peacock aggressive the ast two years, progressively worse, towards my husband.
Is there hormone therapy, or behavioral training?
We have had Henri since a chick and although he has a big personality, he never used to attack us. He would only attack...
Hello Peaple,
so I have completely forgot about this chicken forum for years and yesterday my husband said, maybe I should ask a question here. Our peacock Henri has been a joy and a pia but he's so beautiful and has become more adorable with years. He is now, 9.5 years. Every year, at the drop...
Ok, so I have a green/blue/white male of 6 years of age, and he started limping about 1.5 months ago. He would do it only sometimes, but most times he kinda lifts his foot and stare at it or avoid standing on it, especially after sleeping he would be stiff. Since he sometimes gets into fights...
Hello Peabodies,
I realized or peacock is wrecking our couches, but then again we did not exactly give him a choice. He's used to perching on couches.
My plan is to create some sort of long heavy duty perch, but nothing else occurred to me but using four byfours on some sort of base or buying a...
Hello fellow peabodies,
it has been so long, time does not allow me to hang to much, but will post photos of Henri soon again. I got into wildlife photography and Henri is my often model:-)
So basically- he gets fed every day similar stuff- 2-3 slices of Alvarado bakery California Sprouted...
Hello all, happy spring, it's been a while
So, in december, we went for a longish trip and Henri the 3 year old peacock was in for boarding. When we came back, he was a changed man. Before we left, he did not care for being petted(even after years of living with us), and we could only touch...
Hello pea lovers,
My 3 year old male started molting last week- generally he molts once in a few moths, but suddenly there were piles of fluffy feathers and he lost about 20 of the long beautiful feather in the last week, 7 of them only yesterday itself.
The truth is he seems less horny, he...
Hello peafowl lovers,
I have a non urgent question: When Henri the peacock does not roam around the house or watch TV, he goes to his room and pecks at his mirror obsessively. Tak.tak tak tak tak....and so on. Like he is autistic...sometimes I call him and he comes, but usually he just looks up...
Hello Birders,
today, Heni started doing a weird thing- he kinda stretches his neck and down, like he is trying to pass something down his tummy. He does it more frequently now in the past 10 min. We grabbed him and I massaged his tube on his neck for a while, which he actually seemed to like...
Hi, pea lovers,
my beautiful Henri seems ill. He is always hungry, begging, stealing food, loves snacks, and we feed him following foods:
Poultry grains, 7 grain sprouted bread, tomatoes, eggs, bananas, ginger, chicken, fish, etc. He likes chips and sushi too, but daily, he eats grains, bread...
Hi all,
long time, was busy with school, and was happy to find many posts by other people with beautiful images of peacocks. Treat!
Anyway, I wanted to ask you guys if this diet is ok for my peacock. he is very picky and won't just eat anything.
We feed him:
Bread for breakfast(Sprouted 10...
Hi everyone, long time,
First issue with my one year old peacock. He eats stuff all the time, plant soil, pieces of paper or string that he steals.
But today I saw him grab a rubberband that fell on the floor. It is the kind that holds bunches of asparagus or dandelion together in a grocery...
Hello peeps,
I have a crucial crisis, about my pet Henri. They told me he is a he, when they sold him as a baby. Now, I am not sure. Could you please tell me the truth?
Also I have no idea of what color is he. He has stripes on his body and wings, white splotches in his wings and tail, and just...
Hello,
I was wondering if peacocks live for 50 years. I love mine pied, and was hoping to hang out with him for a long time. But i read somewhere only 20 years.
Hi,
I am in NJ, and the heat has hit. It is in the 90°. My peacock stays with us at home, since our town prohibits him. so technically he is only as uncomfortable as we humans are. But he sticks his tongue out and opens his mouth and puffs up his mandible rhytmically. He is hot.
Can peacocks...
Hello,
today the earth shook underneath my feet, when after applying for permit to build a flight pen for my peacock, they told me that peacocks are pheasant family, and wild and untamed animals, and the ordinance states you cannot have them in this town. I am not sure what I can do about it...
