Hi I'm Ed and am a travel advisor so I get to travel around the world. I took photos of 4 birds on Lake Maggiore in Italy and would like to know what (1 Viewer)

Hi Ed, welcome to the forum on behalf of the staff and moderators. I think you will find us a friendly and helpful group. I am going to move your post to our ID forum where you will get some help.

Peacock 2 : silver pheasant
Sad face: domesticated form of golden pheasant
Turkey like: female Indian peacock (the classic peacock)
All these will be domestic or perhaps feral. In general we don't identify such on the forum, in part because of the difficulties with dealing with all the forms and hybrids

Hi barnabys and a warm welcome from me too.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.

Hi Ed and welcome,
Since there is probably no way you would know which birds are domestic or feral, do not worry about this and do not let it deter you from posting questions about other birds. Unless it is in a cage, someone here will be happy to try to identify it. We deal with such questions frequently. One thing that is good to include is the date of your observation - not needed in this case, but sometimes it can be very helpful to know.
