Cell camera sent this picture a little bit ago. What kind of bird is it. Picture taken in NW Minnesota. I’ve never seen one before.

Are they wild or domestic? Doesn’t appear to want anything to do with the wild turkeys.

They regularly try to go wild but never last for long.

Depends where they are I know several places where they are wild and cause trouble as well, a lot like turkeys in the twin cities

But like I said their good eating

There’s an area in SW Oregon that has had reproducing feral peacocks for 20-30 years. They run with the turkeys and are much harder to kill then the turkeys.

My understanding they do well in warm climate urban sites.
