Green Peafowl
Paons vert

While the Databse strives to post clear, properly-labeled images of all manner of peafowl, it relies upon the identifications made by owners upon submission of an image. Green subspecies can be difficult to identify, and have the additional confounding factor of mixed breeding in the US further muddying the waters. While the Database may be used as a starting tool, assistance with final identification and preservation of pure greens should be sought from reputable breeders.

Green Peafowl sub-species:
Java Green Peafowl: Pavo muticus muticus

Indochinese Green Peafowl: Pavo muticus imperator

Burmese Green Peafowl: Pavo muticus spicifer

Greens without proper identification

American Green Peafowl

Note regarding Green Peafowl:

There is much discussion surrounding the difficulty in finding and identifying "pure" green peafowl, and around issues relating to their care and conservation both in the wild and in captivity. It is currently beyond the scope of this Database to address these discussions and issues. We strongly recommend that those with an interest in Green peafowl take the time to educate themselves about their identification, care, and preservation.

For valuable information about Green peafowl and their conservation, please see, among other sources:
