Peacock (Pavo cristatus)

White peacocks, known as albino peacocks, are rare. If two white peacocks mate, the condition of leucism will be passed onto the babies. In Buddhism, this bird symbolizes nirvana. In Hinduism—the most widespread religion in India, where it hails from—they are believed to bring luck and prosperity. White has long symbolized cleanliness and purity, so a white peacock is associated with purity of mind and spirit.
