Pheasants, Guineas, Peafowl

Hi again,
From one study I read (which I can't locate) the Kalij are considered detrimental by some groups due to their dispersal off non-native invasive plant species, like Lantana. They are also considered a vector for some avian diseases that effect native Hawaiian species.I am not sure they make a good hunting bird as I don't believe they fly up when scared like Ringnecks, Chukar and Francolins. I think their introduction would be considered successful because they continue to procreate and widen their range without the need of continued introductions to boost the species population. I actually like seeing them...they are beautiful Pheasants.
A Galiform is basically a gamebird...Quail, Partidge, Francolin, Pheasant etc.
Are their feral populations of Peafowl in Puna???

Thanks, Andy

Hoping my house sells soon.....
