Peacocks Of A Different Feather
Did you know peacocks come in different colors? Moving between 1 area and the next, we passed briefly by these 2 & I grabbed a couple of shots. Later I checked with Kathy and found out that color is called pied. Years ago they came from a mother who was solid white and an Indian Blue Dad. The species is the same, the white color comes from a genetic mutation known as leucism.
