CLOSE UP: The beautiful young rare white peacock dance!

Peacock dance refers to the courtship display of a male peacock, primarily during the mating season, where they raise and fan out their vibrant tail feathers to attract a peahen. This display is a visual spectacle, showcasing the peacock's impressive plumage and is a key part of their mating ritual.

Young peacocks do not grow their first long tail until they reach about three years old. While they may have some tail feathers before that, the elaborate, showy train doesn't develop until they are sexually mature. The train continues to grow and become more impressive over the next few years, reaching its maximum splendor around age five or six.

Not many people knows, young peacocks begin practicing their mating dances even before their tails are fully developed. While the long, elaborate train of feathers is a key part of the courtship display for mature peacocks, young males start practicing the dance movements and rattling their shorter tail feathers to attract peahens. This early practice helps them perfect their display for when their tails reach their full splendor.

The white peacock is a color variation of the Indian peacock (Pavo cristatus), not a separate species. White peacocks exhibit a lack of pigmentation in their feathers due to a genetic condition called leucism, while their eyes remain blue, distinguishing them from albinos. The Indian peacock, also known as the blue peacock, is the national bird of India and displays iridescent blue and green plumage.

White peacocks are relatively rare in the wild because their bright white plumage makes them more vulnerable to predators. They are more commonly found in captivity where they are selectively bred for their unique appearance.
