The Spalding peafowl resulted from a crossing of the two species of peafowl; the Blue Indian (Pavo cristatus) and the Green Java (Pavo muticus). These birds are named after a bird breeder in California, Mrs. Spalding. The natural ranges of the Indian and Javan are far apart so "Spaldings" do not occur naturally. The male Spalding Peacock is similar in color to the Java Green Peacock. However its body shape is thinner than the Indian Blue Peacock. The Spalding peacock is also much larger in body size than the Indian Blue. The legs of the Spalding Peacock are also slightly longer than Indian Blue Peafowl. The Spalding Peahen is more brightly colored than the Indian Blue Peahen. The Spalding Peahen has much more defined green metallic color around the neck. They also have darker feathers on their body than the Indian Blue Peahen and show the most color of all the peahen varieties with the exception of the java Green. Breeds such as the Pied, Bronze, Black Shouldered, Cameo, Opal and others have become popular since Mrs. Spaldings' first experiment. Pictured in the render is the most common type of Spalding and the Pied. Rendered in Iray without any post work.
