Albino Peacock

Gorgeous!
Peacocks have so much meaning, in so many cultures. One story is that they scream because they look down and see their ugly legs :)
 
People keep them around here because they're better than any dog at sounding an alarm when a stranger comes on your property.

Guinea fowl work, too (and they kill snakes - a bonus), but they're ugly. :D
 
one of Hugh Heffner's girlfriends just gave him male and female albino peacocks. very cool.
 
I had a peacock once. He thought he was a chicken and the cock of the henhouse until the rooster showed him different.

The rooster was an asshole, he was eventually made into a gumbo. ;)

but that albino peacock is beautiful though and he knows he is.

I do wonder how well such birds do against the usual colored ones in getting a mate. Whether they'd liked naturally or not, however, I suspect the more folk see of them, the more will be bred for sale and display. They are striking.
Was gonna say that. I wonder if he gets laid, or of the lack of flashy colors is just something that we humans like, and not peacock girls.
 
I hate to be picky and the term has been misused so much that it is now accepted. However, you can't have a female peacock. The male of the peafowl is a peacock, the female is a peahen.
 
I got chased by one of those fuckers once. Scared the shit out of me.
Still attractive to look at though.

What I wanna know is what it is that's so pea about them in the first place. They don't look very pea-ish to me at all.
