COLOR:
Blue is the natural, unmutated color of the Indian peafowl, also known as the wild type (aka the type found in the wild).
CONTENTS:
This page contains photos of blues with the pied AND white eye pattern mutations (wild type color, pied pattern, white eye pattern), in the pied white eye phenotype.
PATTERN DESCRIPTION:
Pied white eye is a wild type color with white patches in various, random patterns all over the body, AND white patches covering the eye markings on the eye feathers in the train. Due to the white eye influence, pied WE birds may have paler overall color (called "frosting") except in the saddle and neck, and some white-tipped body feathers.
GENETICS:
Pied white-eye is an autosomal, dual-expression pattern made from pied (1 white gene + 1 pied gene) + white-eye. Please see the individual entries for pied and white eye for more information on the individual morphs.
NOTES:
Despite that both are genetically "pied + white eye," the main difference between pied white eye and silver pied morphs is whether or not the saddle is frosted. A pied-looking bird with a normal saddle is pied white eye, a pied-looking bird with a frosted/silvered saddle is a silver pied. Silver pied also usually have 80%+ white coverage, but not always, and normal pied can have 80% or less coverage, but can have more, so this is not a very good measure to go by.
