White Indian Peafowl by Genkicoll

The Indian Peafowl is also known as the Blue Peafowl or Blue Peacock. Peacock refers to the male of the species, whereas peahen refers to the female.

There are three species of peafowl in the world, the Malaysian Peafowl, of southeast Asia and Maylay Peninsula, the Congo Peafowl of the African Rainforests and the Indian Peafowl. The white peafowl are not albino, just a color variation of the Indian Peafowl. These birds have blue eyes. White peachicks start out yellow with white wings.

Wild Indian Peafowl are primarily found in the Rainforests of India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. Due to its adaptability, they have been domesticated for over 2000 years, and have spread around the world with the help of human civilization. Escaped domestic peafowl have established wild populations on every continent except Antarctica.

The primary habitat of the Blue Peafowl includes water, rock and thick rainforest. They live in large groups and are very social animals, and are rarely bothered by human presence. They are just as at home in a city park as they are in the dense forest. Guests to your zoo will be thrilled to see this beautiful bird proudly displaying its plumage!
