This what I found ""There is no history of the parentage of these three birds.There appears to be some Spalding in them, as the rest of the gentlemans birds did"" and if this is true maybe the UPA will need to look in to this.

Yeah, I always laughed at the percent thing because it really means nothing, if you were breeding two 1/2 spaldings together you could in theory get a
pure green or pure blue
bird, the chances are astronomically low but it is theoretically possible. When the offspring are getting half...
Hey Zach,
If you breed 3/4 to 3/4 you will only get 3/4 some will just pull more Green then others. I hatched some 1/2 spaldings one of the males looked India Blue and the other Green in color but both were still only 1/2.

Also CVF, If you didnt know your 2yo 7/8 + cockbird was a spalding, how would you distinguish him from a pure java?? I was thinking maybe ehis nech looks a little thick, and overall a bit stockier than the pure breens i have seen in pictures and videos...
Thanks
Zach
This is how...

You need to know what is going on before you jump in, they are talking about the same words with different meanings between the USA and Australia...
I think ZACK'96 is from Down Under, I have talked with others from there and they told me that the Reverse Pied is the samething as our so called Loud Pied. But you do need to give him credit he did call it a SPALDING PIED and not a JAVA PIED like someone we kinda know .
For the one's that didn't know.
The name "Spalding" was given to this variety due to Mrs. Keith Spalding, who was the first person to mate together the two peafowl species (Java) Muticus and (India Blue) Cristatus.
See you learn something new everyday.
