Add an update to those waiting for chews after my interest check, I am absolutely still working on them! I've disassembled about 95% of the tree and have it drying in my room in graded piles.
I can't bake them wet/green, or they risk molding/rotting, and the bigger pieces take longer to dry out.
Bug helped me sort them. Extremely helpful of her.
But she was so happy to be helping, so I didn't stop her until I had to.
Anyway looks like I'll have 4-6" chews in xs, s, m, l, xl, and xxl, and then 7-10" chews in s, m, and l. Plus bonus packs of weird shit pieces for cheaper.
the green peafowl is a large member of the pheasant family found in southeast asia. due to threats from the pet trade, hunting, and deforestation, the species has been listed as endangered since 2009. a diverse eater, this species feeds on primarily fruits, insects, and invertebrates. unlike the much more common indian blue peafowl, it is harder to distinguish the sexes of the green peafowl; outside of the breeding season, when the male loses the long, characteristic tail feathers, the coloration and plumage of the two sexes is very similar. they are also known for being much more difficult to keep in captivity than the indian blue peafowl.
This handsome lad walked with me while I drove a mobility scooter (it was too hot for me to stand up, yay global warming) and I think it’s safe to say we became friends during said stroll
