White Peacock Chicks.

Something I have not seen before.

I guess they look like Chicken chicks, taken on a busy path in a garden open to the public, Hot Sun beating down on them, people walking within a couple of feet of them, i thought the Hen might have shooed them off somewhere more shady and quiet.

these are so cute - never seen baby peacocks before !

Very nice one! Love the way momma looks down real close.

As far as I know peacocks originate from Asia, India in particular, so the heat would not have been an issue. But I would have thought having people trundling past would be.

Allowed for a very good shot though, so thanks to the momma.

Ooohh, they look so fluffy! I have never seen peacock chicks before. Are the ordinary ones cream-white also?

I've never seen baby peafowls before. It's quite surprising how much they look like chicken chicks, as you say -- I suppose it's easy to forget, what with all their finery, that peafowl are just pheasants.
I like baby galliformes because of the contrast of their fluff + their dinosaur feet. :)

This is an excellent capture, and the composition is so good it looks as though you staged it.

Thanks :) guess you're right about the heat, but those chicks are so small and were on concrete slabs, i was laying on the slabs to take the photo and it felt very warm.

Thanks very much, i had walked past them so the sun was behind me and laid on the floor to get to their level, had to shuffle back as i was to close to focus with the lens i was using, so i would say that was pretty much staged :) just happy they stayed put while i got ready.
