I'm wrong?

There are peacocks Cristatus - Indian Blue.
There are several color mutations ... Cameo, Bronze, Jade Spalding, Midnight .... etc ...

We say Jade cristatus or Cristatus Jade spalding?

It is a hybrid between Pavo Cristatus and Pavo Muticus .... it' s the Spalding series!
The hybrid spalding exists in all color mutations!

How does one call the hybrid spalding of Cristatus Jade Spalding ?


Rooster Jade or rooster Jade Spalding ????

Its interesting, the Jade colour. I'm not sure how the UPA has approved it as a colour as seeing how it really first was found in a bird with spalding blood, I would not hesitate to consider all Jade birds to be spalding, but thats just my two cents.

As for the nomenclature issue. I know plants better, but I would think that it might be listed as the following:

Pavo x spalding Jade

But for the peafowl world, they call it Spalding Jade Rooster and Spalding Jade hen.

In my first term as the president of the UPA some of the terms of colors and methods of the indentification of peafowl was changed... We ( the UPA ) did not have a way to present peafowl in a proper order.. The term Otten used to describe a B S cameo was ommited and the term emerald was ommited, as most people did not know what the difference on the emerald was . There was no order in the way that the colors and patterns were presented. Working with Brad Legg , the current info on the UPA was the result. When you add a new color you will add all of the patterns also... In reference to the Jade , I think all of them in that color are spaldings . Some people are working on a Jade with no phenotype of spalding in it... Think how many years it might take to breed out the spalding and keep the color correct.? I call them spalding Jade males and females. .. The start of my idea did come from the way a begonia was named but that is another story. connerhills
