Title: Peafowl and their care
First published: 1931
Description: There are two species of peafowl, the Indian and the Javan, but only the Indian peafowl has been domesticated, and that not very thoroughly. Peafowl are now kept almost entirely for ornament. They once had some importance as food for man, but they have been little used for this purpose since the turkey became common in domestication.
