    Thank you for watching my videos! This channel is dedicated to animal education and improving the lives of captive animals.
    Here’s little about me!
    My name is Meghan Arriola and I live in Texas with my husband Jaime, where I dedicate my time to taking care of exotic and domesticated animals on my farm. We run a rescue and sanctuary for animals like alpacas, birds and reptiles. I do animal education presentations for groups and schools. Our alpacas also do events where we are able to teach people about these unique animals. I have used service dogs for medical needs for over 10 years and I am an advocate for assistance animals and mental health awareness.
    I am an animal educator that brings science related ideas to an audience from around the world by presenting fun and interesting topics in a family friendly way. Animals touch our lives in unique ways everyday as simply being our pets and companions, but how can we make their lives equally as special now that they live in captivity? My UA-cam channel and blog explore ways to meet this goal by tackling things like animal behavior, human-animal relationships and veterinary medicine. Animal science is a great way to teach people of all ages that education is fun and nerdy is cool.
    My previous animal related work experience includes working in veterinary clinics, private zoos, training horses and volunteer work in wildlife rehabilitation, rescue/foster/adoption programs and therapeutic horsemanship for children with disabilities.
    When I am not working with animals, I am working at the health care clinic owned by my husband Jaime and I, where we provide services to low income, minority neighborhoods. We have been on the frontlines fighting covid19. I also have a passion for art and I am an award winning painter and photographer and published author. I am naturally very introverted but I am extroverted about sharing my passions and doing my part to make the world a better place!

    I’m currently considering getting peacocks myself although I probably can’t let them free range due to both two and four legged predators. A local atv trail passes through my farm and closing it would cause problems with the community. I’ll be building a couple large bird runs for peafowl and/or golden pheasants. Depending on how the local reception goes, I may allow some peafowl to free range.

I was also told by someone on Facebook that you shouldn't tame because they will become aggressive. But you seem to clear that up too. And I also was wanting to know if they would run away and not return home too. Ty for that information as well.

    Your peacocks are lovely! I’m wondering if you have any tips for keeping females around? We have had trouble keeping specifically the females from disappearing . I’m thinking that they may be going to find better nesting areas and being attacked by something. Do you have any tips for providing better nesting places? Or just keeping them safe without penning them in completely. The few times we did have chicks born we had to keep the females in so they would nest inside

  • @MinxFox
    @MinxFox 4 роки тому

    You mentioned in the beginning being worried about one of the peachicks because his wings were droopy. Since their wing feathers grow so quickly as chicks, sometimes their muscles haven't yet caught up so they will hold their wings down from all the weight. I have some hand raised peacocks as well. :)

    SO..left cage covered w 2 blankets and tarp.
    Left sunflower seed, peanuts, apple, trail mix, cat pate and cat dry pellets. Will try again tomorrow. Temps dropping to 25 F degree. How low of a temp can they healthily tolerate?The whole town is worried.

    • @HappyTailsAnimals
      @HappyTailsAnimals  Рік тому

      It's winter, a mating call won't have any interest to them. If you grab a leg, don't let go. They will go limp if you can get them upside down. But with food it should be ok in that temperature. Corn is a good option when it's cold.

    They are not the largest flying bird, wandering albatross are absolutely massive and some of the eagles are also especially large. Many birds are larger.

    • @HappyTailsAnimals
      @HappyTailsAnimals  3 роки тому

      Sounds like a wonderful place for peafowl. They will not stay on 4 acres so your neighbors would have to be ok with having peafowl, many people do like them. You need to keep them in a pen for 1 year, longer if they are babies, and then you can let them be free range.

    • @HappyTailsAnimals
      @HappyTailsAnimals  4 роки тому +1

      That's the first time I've heard that! Chickens can definitely raise peafowl up to a certain age. But chickens usually only care for chicks for up to 8 weeks before weaning them. Peafowl care for their young for 10 to 12 months. So once the chicken feels the peachicks are big enough to wean, they will still need heat and some nurturing provided. But this has absolutely nothing to do with feathers.
