Sensational White Peacock - Original Oil Painting On Gold Leaf Heron wall art I see these guys year

I see these guys year round in our cove

Gorgeous at a distance

Those plumes nearly brought the white great egret to extinction during the late 1800 when they were hunted for these aigrettes (long plumes)

They are a species of high concern because they were hunted to near extinction in the late nineteenth century for their long breeding plumage

Usually in trees 10' to 40' above ground

White peacocks are rare and have a conditions known as Leucism which cause partial loss of pigmentation. Leucism is a genetic mutation that can affect the skin, hair, feathers, but not the eyes. White peacocks are a rare form of the blue peacock. Ive only seen these at a plantation in Hawaii across from the Pacific Ocean. Such a delight! The painting measures 12 x 24, with frame 13. 5."
