IMO - The webbing looks pretty similar to Zaz's photo of feathers.

Here are some more clearer photos that show Thor's feathers and the webbing.




Another photo of a male Peacock's feather. Again, the webbing looks pretty similar to me.

lighting plays a big roll as to what feathers will look like.
how about this these

I don't know if you realized this Zaz but Thor has white face not color. If your looking at photos on my facebook that had dates on them don't trust them. This photo was taken August 1. The photo says it was taken January 25. Why on Earth would I let a duckling that is 2 weeks old outside in January in Idaho. There are flowers still alive. This was my Black Indian Runner mix with mallard. He died Christmas day of 2010. Some brought a dog over a hunting dog we had our dogs locked up and when the owner wasn't watching his dog it jumped out of the truck chased Daffy and bit down on his wing and shook him to death. That dog is so lucky that I wasn't around at that time because honestly I was filled up with so much rage I would have shot the dog right then and there. Look at the time according to the camera it was taken 4:23 in the morning in January um lets see it would be dark. I got Colbolt, Jadea, Sapphire, and Genie after Daffy died because I got them as a Christmas present because I lost Daffy.




This is Daffy when he was 3 months old. The dates don't line up








This is Kenia and Kida. They hatched out March 2012. According to the date I got them the same year as I had Daffy and all my other birds. Here's a fun one for you guys. You've all seen the photos with Thor and Calypso with Colbolt and Jadea in the background. Well according to the date of the next photo Thor and Calypso would be 5 years old so why would I be arguing with you guys when all I would have to do is post a photo of them as adults and post that and the argument would be all over.

May I say it again I know my birds. This say I had Thor and Calypso since 2008. Do you still want to believe my camera dates.

How about this? Thor has those feathers and not all of those are blue. The shapes are different between peahen and peacock. We are talking about the webbing not the color. Light will affect the color but the shape nope. We are talking about the webbing of the feather.

Colbolt didn't have green scales down his back until he was three. Colbolt still had green his neck feathers just not as much when he was 1 year and 4 months.

In my learned opinion Thor is weird!

He's weird. All of my peas develop slowly. Sure I could speed them up but it can be dangerous.

Sorta like Conditioning... isn't it?

Yes conditioning the mind to learn a complete reversal and disregard all the scientific proof brought forth. Similar Conditioning would be like the sun rises in the west and sets in the north.Instead of water flowing downhill it actually is flowing uphill.

Lord, I can't wait until breeding season starts and we can forget this thread.

Someone actually believes those? Interesting...

Yes, I know some of my other photos of Thor show the feathers as different colors (more green instead of more blue like some others). I understand that's the light's fault. But as Birdrain92 said, we're talking about the webbing of the feathers. Not the colors.
