Someone must have back washed in that one.

 

Not hummers but something rare and beautiful:

 

Where did you see that fine bird?

 

What tha heck!

 

Wow...didn't know there were albino peacocks! Or is it a particular breed that happens to be white?

 

I didn't. Barb received it in an email from one of her neices without attribution. I suppose albino peacocks occur about as frequently as most other species (maybe we should ask Dean). More often than not it's a hindrance to survival - whether predators or prey for obvious reasons.

I'll try to get more info tomorrow but thought I'd share the pics anyway.

 

An angel looking bird. Cool!

 

Very nice pic and a great looking bird. I would need a closer shot to tell if it's a true albino or not. An albino will have pink eyes and the leg scales should be pink as well.
Albinism occurs more often in domestic animals. Domestics are products of artificial selection (people breed them to bring out or eliminate certain traits) and are kept in fairly protected environments. Wild albinos don't tend to survive since predators can spot them so easily and albinos also tend to have poor eyesight because of the lack of pigmentation in the eye.

 

^^^ My knows everything (except where I keep the insurance policies )

 

Gorgeous bird, Raymo. There are wild peacocks in our neighborhood. They make the most horrible noises.
