wow that sure is a pretty bird bone is it an albino peacock or just a white one?
-
Its a white peafowl, not an albino. I have three pens side by side whith three different species of peafowl. Bronze, India blue (common ones) and the white. Its cool when all three are fanning. I tried to have some out free range as they are cool, but they are HELL on gardens. Bronze are next on my list for pics.
-
Here's the bronze alarm system. He's a bit more spendy. Its a new color subspecies of peafowl. They breed true.......
A male Bronze Peafowl.

WOW! OOPS he broke one, I'll give ya $150 for him :chuckle:
-
:chuckle:Look at all that fresh fly tyeing material. I have a big India Blue in my freezer gettting freezer burn as we speak. I didn't have a freezer big enough for his tail, so skinned it out and boraxed it. We'll see when that project happens.
-
how many different kinds of birds do you have bone???? Those are some cool ones.
-
I have about 30 species I think. Some are just darn right gorgeous.
Its a little noisey around my place right now....pretty cool, but noisey.
-
Do ya charge admition to lookyloos? Spelling is all rednecked :chuckle:
-
Nope, free tours. Best time is late fall, early spring though. They start molting as we speak, which means more flytying material. I don't think I bragged on here, but I just got another article published in teh gamebird gazette with a bunch of pictures. Still no cover shot. I'll brag when I get that. The best part was the girls each got in there a couple times holding birds. I was excited about that.
-
With that many birds how you do you find time to hunt? You need to make a movie dancing with birds :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
You wouldn't know it by how much time I spend on here, but I am one of the busiest people you might meet. I've automated alot of my bird chores so that I could go on some of my hunts, so my wife doesn't ahve to do anything with them. That was a must.
-
got peacock herl?
damn dude...you could do a lot with all that herl.
i probably don't need to tell you that.
-
I haven't tied any with the white or the bronze yet. I was thinking about trying some new chironimid patterns with the white. FOR GODS sakes don't buy any if you need some for tying. I'll get some pics of big blue up here later.
-
Here's an old one of big blue...

Brag away Bone, that is some very cool stuff there. Most of us learn allot from these posts.
Wow that blue is awesome!
-
Those are truely beautiful birds. Great pics.
-
thats a cool color of blue. amazing
-
I don't say "WOW" often but, that photo of Big Blue pulled one out!
-
Thanks guys. They are almost fun to have around until about bedtime. My neighbor( who happened to be m mother) used to piss and moan about them all the time. I told her when she got rid of her little ankle biting yipper dog, then I would think about getting rid of the peacocks. SHE MOVED. :)

some people can't appreciate the beauty in nature!!
