I found comrade today.

Albino peacocks (technically white peacocks).... they are absolutely stunning. Was the one on the tree white as well? Looked like maybe not.

You are fantastic, Klahanie! Yes, lol. This was white peacock. The "guy" on tree was normal, colourful sort :) They were very friendly.

Lovely. Peacocks are often friendly and always after food!

very pretty bird :)

wonder what a white peacock's tail display would be like? monotone, I imagine! never thought of it before I saw this pic, now I'm forever going to wonder - unless I ask Mr Google - and he said http://www.flickr.com/photos/bsouthj/4316597496/

pretty bird. pure white!

It starts to snow here. Might be nice to see them on the snow. Maybe I will visit thenpark during the weekend and will bring some more photos of them. This time, they will be made by camera, not by my cellular phone.

lol wouldyou be able to see them on the snow?? they've got built-in camouflage - but look forward to pics

Do not rank these beautiful birds among spies, criminals and politicians. Camouflage is not what they use.

camouflage is also for protection by innocent people from predators.

This is propaganda :)

i think he is a she ie know nice tail so a peahen with a frind ready to make babies nesxt year . albino means a lack of pygment so the peacock plumes would be a beautiful white .not mch in the wild that isnt a colour . albino blackbirds arewhite so never were black.

well spotted, Noseypotter! shee, about time I picked up my new specs. @-@¬

should'nt think albino colouring would make survival any easier for wild creatures or birds - apart from being glaringly conspicuous in anytihng but a snow-field, most creatues like others to look "right" and so the chances of finding a mate would be much reduced - or we'd have species that bred albino all down the line (for all I know, maybe there are)

Hi Noseypotter and Fran@in the cage with these white peacocks and normally coloured two males there were also males and hens which were coloured like normal peacocks, but had many white patches on them. I didn´t like them so much, but maybe they are the cross?

It's quite possible that the genes have been at least partly passed on; whether those birds will pass on their inherited albino genes remains to be seen - how big were the patches? with one parent normal and one albino, the chick would have a fifty-fifty chance of getting either colouring - that's if there isn't a genetic disposition towards one or the other, of course.

They had several white patches of different sizes. Maybe they cover 1/3 of their total surface, in some less.

lol I'll have to do a Google in "albino genetics" now!

Let us know! :))

sounds strange . i know theres a condition wear you have know pygment in your skin but do have normal colour eyes but albino means lack of any pygment . red eyes are caused bye the red blood vessels in the eye and the pink hew is to do with the bload vessels in skin too .

There were 3 sorts - Eritrea, normálne, SND miezd.
