Peach

Peach Indian peafowl are a warm, pale domestic color variety of Pavo cristatus. Mature males show peach, cream, tan, and muted bronze tones instead of the strong blue of India Blue, and the train is usually lighter with softer eyespot contrast. Hens tend to be beige to peach-brown, often appearing much lighter than standard hens. The color comes from domestic peafowl color-breeding work and may be seen on barred-wing, black-shoulder, pied, silver pied, or white-eyed patterned birds.

Peach is a color where photographs can mislead, since morning shade, sun, and molt can shift the bird from buff to pinkish tan. For breeding, parentage matters more than a casual color name, especially when peach is crossed with purple, cameo, or white-patterned lines. Management is the usual peafowl routine: roomy outdoor pens, high dry roosts, protection from dogs, foxes, and other night predators, and enough protein during feather growth. Rare colors should be maintained with unrelated stock whenever possible to avoid trading vigor for shade.
