Aw man, I'm so sorry to hear about your peafowl. It is part of having poultry, but damn it sucks.
I would be interested in those birds! I have four itty bitty cheepers in the living room now---last babies available for the year, I think---and I picked up a couple of pullets at the feed store, so the phoenix girl isn't alone and my compost gets eaten. :P One is a white chicken with a few stray orange feathers that I suspect may be an Easter egger type; we'll see what she lays. The other is this really cute little black bantam thing with a lot of head feathers...she can almost raise them in a crest like a cockatiel, I've never seen a chicken like her and have no idea what she is. Other than cute.
I'm glad that the phoenix you gave me is the one who lived. :(
