Blue (India Blue)
A variant of Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus)
The wild-type plumage: brilliant iridescent blue neck and breast with the classic eyed train; the most common and hardiest form kept.
Keeper tips for this variant
Pen new birds at least a month before free-ranging so they roost at home, provide tall roosts and a roofed pen, and only keep them where acreage and tolerant neighbors can handle the carrying spring 'scream'.
