Even if it doesnt happen now, It will likely happen in the future which is half the battle!

well i bought these wild caught peacocks.. and i want them to breed badly... but as today they were doing same thing... every 30 mins or so.. the male would shake and dance.. she would follow him and they would do the spin for about 15-20 seconds... and then he would leave the area and she would leave as well... kinda weird never seen them do this without spawning.. maybe her eggs are not ripe yet.. who knows

your right maybe she is not "ready" Keep us updated. Can you get some pics or a video? That would be cool thanks
