Peacocks love snakes, then again, so do I. In India they have peafowl for the Thanksgiving and consider them quiet tasty. The government has advised against it because in areas where the numbers are low, the cobras are high. I have been into peafowl for 25 years and every time I go to a family reunion, someone asks what are they good for. I tell them nothing, so then they ask, why do you raise them, and I say BECAUSE I LIKE THEM. It sure isn't because I make any money off of them. Maggi is always happy when I can make enough to pay the feed bill.

I have heard lots of people say they are good watchdogs but I prefer Dobermans for that. Yes they do sound off when someone comes up but they also sound off if a loud truck goes down the road or if the moon is shining, etc.........

jessaree, they are Pieds but not Silver Pieds and may still carry the gene, 50% chance.

OK Haystack, this is a young Pied cock that has a lot of Java blood that I sent a friend a few years ago. I need to ask him to send me some updated pictures.
