You may wonder why this peacock lacks the usual blue and green coloration. Some would guess that they're albino, but that's not the case. White peafowl have a genetic mutation called leucism. This causes the inability of pigment to be deposited into their feathers which results in a white appearance.
it's impossible not to be dazzled by their appearance. The males in particular, who have a much longer train, are mesmerizing. These trains have about 150 feathers and reach their full length when peacocks are about two years old. Their feathers glisten in the sunlight as they try to attract a female partner.

Historically, they symbolized purity, eternity, and unconditional love. While some white peacocks can be found in the wild, it's more common that they're the result of selective breeding and held in captivity, where they can live for up to 50 years.
