Domestic Indian Peafowl designation

General

Is there a plan to add a domestic designation for farmyard peafowl that are not hybridized with Guineafowl? I reviewed an older thread regarding Muscovy Duck which seems analogous. Lots of these birds in Florida and some in Kentucky too.

I’m not sure, but this sounds like a specific taxonomic curation question. Those should generally be handled by raising a taxon flag on iNaturalist itself to engage community there.

@cthawley Thanks Chris. I didn’t know how to do that, but I figured it out, though it isn’t a topic in the KB.

I think these would be the relevant entries in the Help, but maybe they could have some other keywords added to make them more “findable”:

Thanks @cthawley. I searched variations of “raise taxon flag” and didn’t get much. I didn’t know enough of the iNat lexicon to get much further.
