White peacocks have a rare genetic mutation called leucism that causes a lack of pigment in their feathers, but not in their eyes.Although leucism is an inherited trait, the position and pattern of the white coloring can vary or skip generations, which means seeing a white peacock in the wild may be an extraordinarily rare event

• Leucism is often confused with albinism, however, an albino bird would have pink eyes, while a bird with leucism does not.
• Spiritually, white peacock feathers are often thought to symbolize rebirth, wisdom, and kindness.
