    This looks more like something I would expect to see in the jungle, much less chicken-like. Posted 10 years ago

      Associations are hard to beat. I have the same thing with peafowls, truly a spectacular bird. However, as every zoo and hobby farmer has them in the Netherlands, the association is that it is a general and common bird. Posted 10 years ago
