It probably should of been a requirement when each color was introduced and it would be really nice for all to be able to go to the site and see each color from baby chick to peahen and peacock. I'm not a very good at taking pictures. Maybe if I ever sit down and read the directions I could do better. Downloading a good picture could take minutes but I might be forever trying to get a quality picture of a bird that shows the true colors to down load for the world to see.. I guess I thought you meant that just anyone could take a picture and download the pictures on the web-site. Like everything I suspect if they paid someone to take the time and do all this then it would no longer be free to view.I know there are members of the UPA that could upload proper colors-patterns of their adult birds especially if they have owned them for many years,amd been breeding them the same year after year.Ultimately someone at the UPA would have final say as to the picture being correct for the color-pattern uploaded but there is a strong need for this.Sure it would take some time and coordination of several members to do it but it would be an invaluable resource for everyone.Not every peafowl breeder has every color or pattern.I myself have never seen a Midnight hen,,and have thought the color Midnight was only in the b/s pattern because I have yet to see a picture of an ordinary midnight hen,or a Midnight Peacock,,that is NOT BLACKSHOULDER. Is there such a bird? If so I'd like to see a pic of both.And in my opinion,if UPA cannot supply this information something is wrong.Seems if the members or officers has to vote on new colors it should be just as easy to get pictures of them at that time so all can see them.How long has the UPA been in existance? All these colors and patterns didn't appear all at once but have taken many years to breed and obtain so it would be easy to upload information each year as new colors-patterns are accepted as a approved color-ect.Now with 275 diffrent mutations it seems like a mountain of work when in fact if done each year it may take an hour if adding 1-3 new colors-patterns?
I've inquired about this in the past as well, with no results. I even suggested to Brad Legg that each colour needs a "Standard of Perfection" almost and a book with all the colours would be very helpful. My initial thoughts were just to be able to id the different colours in the wild pattern only for male and female, but if it were possible to get a number of breeders together or willing breeders to create such a book/website it would be an invaluable tool. I have also requested photos for such a book so that it could be made available, but no one replied. I currently have the following colours: bronze, opal, cameo, purple, peach, charcoal, midnight bs, indian blue and indian blue bs. this does not include some of the other patterns I have as well. I have taken some photos, but want to make a pen specifically for taking photos in so that I have correct lighting on the bird and can achieve a specific pose (mainly in the male and its train). If I ever had this done, I could just make it into a trailer, and travel around to take the pictures of the colours/patterns I don't have. And yes, FBC, Midnight does come in wild pattern as well. Legg has some, but his midnight pied (not blackshoulder) pics are really good.I know there are members of the UPA that could upload proper colors-patterns of their adult birds especially if they have owned them for many years,amd been breeding them the same year after year.Ultimately someone at the UPA would have final say as to the picture being correct for the color-pattern uploaded but there is a strong need for this.Sure it would take some time and coordination of several members to do it but it would be an invaluable resource for everyone.Not every peafowl breeder has every color or pattern.I myself have never seen a Midnight hen,,and have thought the color Midnight was only in the b/s pattern because I have yet to see a picture of an ordinary midnight hen,or a Midnight Peacock,,that is NOT BLACKSHOULDER.
