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 white eye pattern mutation (wild type color, white eye pattern).
PATTERN DESCRIPTION:
White eye is a colored bird with white patches covering the eye markings in the eye feathers of the male's train. White eye can also express through paler colors all over the body (known as "frosting") except in the saddle and neck, white tips on body feathers, white speckling on train feathers outside of the eye marking, and rarely white or frosting in some of the flight or alulae feathers.
GENETICS:
White eye is an autosomal leucistic mutation that is an incomplete dominant. Genetically, white eye birds have two copies of the white eye gene. Birds with one copy of the white eye gene may visually express body frosting and/or a few white eyes.
NOTES:
The desired white eye markings are clean-edged, solid, cover the eye marking nearly completely, and cover all of the eyes in the train. Alternate expressions of this gene include ragged, spotty expressions, and poor expression (markings over some to most but not all of the eyes).
