White Peacock Images, Facts, Information, Paintings & Gifts

Blue Peacocks known as the Indian peafowls are one of the most popular birds admired by most of us for their beauty. The white colored peacocks are rare, but they too look stunning.

The white peacocks are white in color due to the lack of pigmentation in the skin and feathers, even though this is rare in the wild but more common among those kept in captivity due to selective breeding.

Many times white peacocks are mistaken for albinos, but for albinos there is a complete lack of the pigment melanin which also results in pink eyes. The white peacocks have beautiful blue eyes (and sometimes few colored feathers too) and so they can't be considered as albinos.

White peacocks are same as the blue Indian peacocks in size, behavior and other characteristics, except the fact that they look white in color. This is due to the lack of pigmentation in their skin and feathers and the condition is thought to be caused by a mutation in genes.

Albinos lack the pigment melanin and there is a complete absence of this pigment in them including the eyes which results in pink eyes due to the visibility of underlying blood vessels.

In leucism, there is an overall reduction of all pigments and this doesn't normally affect the color of eyes. In the case of white peafowls, the skin and feathers of the bird look white but the eyes look blue in color. Actually even in the peafowls that look purely white, if you look through a microscope you can still see little color in the feathers. Although rare, peafowls with a mix of blue and white feathers are also found.

Peacocks are always a great subject for art, irrespective of the color. It is the male birds which look more beautiful than the female birds and they are more popular. Peacock dance is also very famous, and there is a belief that they usually dance just before a good rain. I do not know if that's true, but I am sure they are great dancers!
