About the UPA

Philosophy

The UPA is dedicated to promoting peafowl. Through its official functions, its goal is to disseminate information, guidance, assistance, and promotion of the avocation and interest in peafowl. Officers are elected each year at the annual convention.

UPA members have the opportunity to share information with and learn from top breeders and some of the most knowledgeable peafowl experts in the world. This information is shared 6 times a year through the official UPA publication Peafowl Today. Members have the opportunity to attend the yearly convention where top breeders and avian experts speak on a variety of subjects relating to the care and breeding of peafowl. Members receive an exclusive member's only printed membership directory that lists each member's contact information as well as the varieties of peafowl that they raise.

Comments:

Not sure who to direct this thank you to, but I want to send out a HUGE thank you to whomever is responsible for putting up the info about curled toe and straddle leg remedies! I got a chick a week ago that was already a week old and she had both of these conditions. Using the information on your web page I made her corrective shoes and a brace for her legs. I left them on all this last week and today when I took them off, she was completely sound with good feet and normal legs! Thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!

Best,
Anika
