Hi again,

here's another white peacock from the "absolutely wanted to be photographed"
section. As the previous one, I took his picture in Kruezen Animal Park
in June 1999. Another bird with more color on it is just being scanned;
stay tuned for more if you like technicolor birds.

Greetings from Germany -

Ralf

The Indian peafowl or blue peafowl (Pavo cristatus), a large and brightly coloured bird, is a species of peafowl native to South Asia, but introduced in many other parts of the world. The male, or peacock, is predominantly blue with a fan-like crest of spatula-tipped wire-like feathers and is best known for the long train made up of elongated upper-tail covert feathers which bear colourful eyespots. These stiff feathers are raised into a fan and quivered in a display during courtship.
