pheasant tail feathers for fletching??
Jude:
That's a mighty fancy lookin' chicken :D
medicinewheel:
Yet not as fancy a chicken as a peacock I would say...!
JW_Halverson:
I've got peacocks in my nieghborhood. I hope these argus pheasants are not as obnoxious as peafowl. Imagine waking up in the summer every hour on the hour all night to the sound of a woman screaming her head off! That, my friends, is what a peacock adds to your neighborhood.
I hear the foxes got one of the peacocks last summer. Oh, and I can assure you that they taste just like South Dakota ringneck pheasant. >:D

J.W. Peacocks are quite delicious! Just don't wax and polish your car during breeding season. You will have peck marks all over it!
Used to be a Dr. had some, down by Lake Osbourne, in Lake Worth, Fla. and the Fire Dept was always being called out for someone drowning, and yelling for help down by the lake......If you wait for the males to fan out their fans, you can sneak up on them. ;)
They also have nice wing feathers. Oh, and don't bother trying to run one down! When I was a whole lot younger, I tried that once. I was pretty fast in High school 100 yd dash in 9.9 sec. Didn't matter, it was just cruising, like no big deal. 8) It was the Road Runner, and Wiley Coyote all over again. ::) Finally, it just jumped up and flew away. I thought for sure I was going to get close enough to hit with the stick I had. Oh, well, just chicken for dinner, no Peacock. A Friend of mine used to shoe horses, and one of the ranches we went to had Peacocks. We would catch the males like I said, by coming up behind them, when they spread out their tail feathers. Also they make excellent fishing lures from their other feathers, especially the tail feathers. ;) Too bad I didn't have a "Bola" with me then. ;)

All fowl-like birds are like that, even the midget China quails I used to breed when I was a kid where like that; but it's alway the cock, not the hen being obnoxious.
