Opal

The Opal Indian Peafowl is a distinctive and captivating variety of the Indian peafowl, known for its unique and ethereal coloration. This particular breed is characterized by its stunning plumage, which exhibits a soft, iridescent blend of silvery blue-gray tones, reminiscent of opal gemstone hues. The feathers of the Opal Indian Peafowl reflect a subtle play of colors when hit by sunlight, giving the impression of a shimmering, almost mystical appearance. In contrast to the vibrant blues and greens of the classic Indian peafowl, the Opal breed maintains a more subdued and elegant palette, which stands out brilliantly in gardens and aviaries.

Males, or peacocks, possess a magnificent train adorned with eye spots that maintain the opalescent theme, while females, or peahens, display a similarly muted coloration, though without the grand train. The Opal Indian Peafowl's striking appearance is complemented by their graceful demeanor and engaging courtship displays, making them a popular choice among aviculturists and ornamental bird enthusiasts. These birds, like their counterparts, are typically docile and adapt well to various environments, provided they have ample space to roam. The Opal variety, while rare, continues to captivate bird lovers with its mesmerizing beauty and unique charm.
