White peafowl, while appearing to be albinos, are actually leucistic, meaning they have a genetic condition that prevents melanin from being deposited in their feathers, resulting in their white plumage and blue-grey eyes.
- Leucism, not albinism: While often mistaken for albinos, white peafowl have a condition called leucism, where pigment cells fail to migrate from the neural crest during development, preventing pigment deposition in feathers.
- Rare in the wild: White peafowl are rare in the wild, and are often kept in captivity, sometimes bred specifically for their unique coloration.
- Blue-grey eyes: Leucistic peafowl have blue-grey eyes, unlike albino animals that have red or pink eyes.
- Not a separate species: White peafowl are Indian Blue Peafowl (Pavo cristatus) with a genetic mutation, not a separate species.
- Similar to other leucistic animals: Leucism also affects other animals, including birds, buffalo, horses, giraffes, deer, and axolotls.
- Young peafowl: Baby peafowl are called peachicks.
- Symbolism: Peacocks, in general, have been symbolic throughout history, often representing beauty, rebirth, and wealth.
- Peafowl are closely related to pheasants
- Peacocks are male birds
- Peahens lay eggs
- Peafowl cannot swim
