Using hanging food dishes (hanging from the ceiling by chains) tends to keep mice from getting into the food. Keep the water elevated or protected in some way as well so that you do not get droppings in it. Alternatively, use a 3 or 4 gallon (11.4 or 15.1 L) bucket for water. Peacock chicks should get a high protein diet for their first 3 months of life. Look for a Game Bird feed crumble of about 25 to 30% protein. As they get older, begin to wean them off the crumble; too much protein in a grown peacock can cause serious leg deformities. After three months, the chicks should be weaned to either Game bird feed or Game bird pellets (Note that pellets are best for birds in cages with wire bottoms). This can generally be done using a 6 week transition schedule, but you should pay close attention to the response of your chicks. If they stop eating the feed, continue feeding them what they will eat and try again another day. The six week program is as follows:   Week 1: 3 parts crumble to 1 part adult food.  Week 2: 2.5 parts crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 3: 2 parts crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 4:1.5 parts crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 5:1 part crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 6: .5 part crumble to 1 part adult food  Week 7: All adult food. While too many treats can cause health problems, giving your peacocks a little something special now and then can be helpful in keeping them from straying or to help them swallow medicine. To treat your peacock, consider giving him fruits, vegetables, bread, unsweetened cereals, dog food, or cat food. Do not give them small bones, as they may choke.

Summary: Provide food and water dishes. Feed the chicks. Begin to wean your chicks from the crumble. Give your peacocks occasional treats.


Though AppleTV is a great way to view most movies, it's not a great way to view all movies. Certain video file extensions are incompatible with AppleTV and, thus, can't be played within the program. Knowing which files will and won't work in AppleTV ahead of time can be a big time-saver:  Generally, mp4, m4v and mov can be easily transferred. Conversely, mkv, wmv, webm, and avi are usually difficult to transfer or incompatible entirely. Mp4 files are easy for AppleTV to play, so, if you can convert your incompatible file from its original file type to mp4, you should be able to play it. Luckily, several converter apps are available for free online - simply Google, download, and install the software, then convert your file to mp4 (or another supported format).  Some converters will even have a special Apple TV profile pre-programmed for easy conversion. Below are just a few popular video converters available for download:  MPEG Streamclip Handbrake Format Factory (Windows only) Freemake Video Converter (Windows only) With luck, your new files should work just fine. In some rare cases, it's difficult to get files to play in AppleTV even after converting them to a compatible format like mp4. In some cases, you may also need to adjust the parameters of the video file  to make it easier to play. Here are compatible settings for several AppleTV-supported file types.:  H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

Summary: Know the types of video files supported by AppleTV. Use a free converter application to convert to mp4. Import your new mp4 files into iTunes as normal. If necessary, adjust the parameters of problematic files.


Popular options include Process Explorer, LockHunter, and Unlocker or Lock-UnMatic and Mac OS File Unlocker for Mac. All of these programs are free and integrate into your Windows interface.

Even though your will be selling your vehicles online, you will also need to have a physical location where people can come and see your cars. This is called your display area. The display area must be large enough to accommodate all of the vehicles that you have listed on your website, so you may need to find a commercial space to rent. Keep in mind that your display area will need to be inspected before you can open your online dealership. These fees may total around $116. Check to make sure new fees have not been added. You can call your local inspector's office to make sure. These fees may include:  A $5 non-refundable application fee A $50 Reinstatement fee A $15 Duplicate or transfer license fee A $1 Family Support Program fee The DMV has to examine your application, location, and other aspects of your business before they will approve your license. If your application is approved, then you can begin selling cars.  Be aware that it is illegal to sell cars without your license. Keep in mind that you will also need to renew your license and show proof of continuing dealer education once every two years.
Summary: Decide on a physical location. Pay the fees. Wait about 120 days to hear back.
