My peacocks are real young and until this spring never hollered much. When I asked people about it they would say the males only called real bad like that at night on a full moon. But now I find they think our yard safety light is a continuous full moon so they call every night :) But I only have two males, Mr. Blue and Mr. Purple but I am hankering for a mister white! only trouble with peacocks is I approach them like my horses... rather than buy an adult trained one that isnt so special (in my estimation) I would rather spend the money on my dream horse as a weanling and then spend yearsssss of groundwork, long walks in the moolight holding hands, nearly getting my neck broke being launched from green horses who have never been told no hardly a day in their lives etc. But I never liked anything easy haha. ANd I have beautiful young peacocks, a nice male and female purple, the true purple mutation, but I have a young green female that has some white and if I had a white male they could have a pied.... the dream peacock of course is a silver pied. They cost from 3-600 bucks each. or the java green, 4-800 bucks. and you think, what could be so special for a bird to cost that much but when you see one your mouth just falls open :) There is a "buy it now" on ebay right now for two silver pied hatching eggs for 45 bucks. But my incubator hatch rate runs about 50% so I would end up with one and feel like I had to sleep with it and then I would either sqush it or my husband would kill it with his snoring.
