Tour Scotland Travel Photograph And Video White Peacock Scone Palace

Tour Scotland travel photograph of a White Peacock at Scone Palace, Scotland. Peachicks are born yellow in colour and become white as they mature. Although commonly thought of as albino, white peacocks, or peafowl as they are known, are in fact a genetic mutation of the more common Indian Blue Peafowl. This mutation, called ‘Leucism’, causes a lack of pigments in the plumage which in turn gives them their stunning pure white appearance. However, unlike albino birds they have blue eyes. Peachicks are born with flight feathers already on their wings and can fly by the time they are one week old. When fully grown, the male will sport about 150 of the long "eyed" peacock feathers with which most of us are so familiar. While most people think of these as the tail, they are in fact a train which covers the tail underneath.
