Hi all, I have a pair of java greens and I am learning more about them as they grow older, such as what foods they like most, what bugs they like, the different activities they like such as getting the termites out of rotting wood to keep them doing things, how they communicate with each other, what noises they make and lots more. But what I want to know is what should i do to keep them happy, how they like to nest and anything to make as if they were in the wild. My javas also love standing in the rain and getting wet and i am assuming that it is what they would do in the wild. anyway, I just want to know now more about them and what I should do to keep them even more happy.

Great topic mate ;) I would like to know more about the Javas myself , like ...is it true they can't be trained to freerange , It's strange because our "Indian blues" are very tame and follow us around like they're part of the Family . If a java was to be hand raised , I wonder would they act the same way , as for staying out in the rain I can't answer that .

I have seen some pictures were someone has some free range java green peafowl, but It's not recommended, even if it were hand reared, but i wouldn't risk it anyway because there so expensive and rare in aus, but is could be possible if they were raised from a chick with humans, but you wouldn't want it to go missing :roll:

The lady I got my first Indian Blues off used to feed them Dry dog food soaked in water ,I still give my blues cat and dog food , Would it be safe to feed this to Java's ?

I think it's unussual how peafowl will stay in the Rain :lol: :lol: I suppose thats what they'd have to do in nature . ;)

Do Java's lay the same amount of eggs as Blues?

Is their breeding season at the same time as the blues?

javas eat cat and dog food as well. They are less picky than my blues, but they eat a lot more :roll:

There breeding season is the same as blues, but mine haven't bred yet because they are still young and they mature slower than indian blues.
