I'm studying for my genetics exam right now and it occurred to me that it would be interesting to see how this peacock's colour-coding genes were knocked out during its embryo development!

This is an India blue pied...a mix of an India blue (standard color for peacocks) and albino. Its a mix that either results in a VERY lovely bird, or a rather ugly one. Many pieds are not so pretty, in contrast to this lovely boy u have pictured.

I've seen pheasants with similar coloring; one of my neighbours raised and released some Japanese Green pheasant as well as some ringnecks, in an effort to repopulate the birds from a feral cat epidemic which had taken most of the birds from our fields.

..A year or two later, I brought down a rooster while I was hunting, and was suprirsed to see that he had "half a ringneck" and very odd coloring, which was remarkably similar to this pheasant. It was too unusual to eat the bird, so we stuffed and mounted it.

woah. that is an awesome photo. but, they're not called white peacocks, but albino peacocks. furthermore, that cant be real, as albinism is a gene. you get it or not. there's no mix to my knowledge. nevertheless, thats a gorgeous shot, congrats!
