Transmutación of blue peafowl to green peafowl

[egelvez]

Hello friends. I have a doubt .. In other bird species such as lovebirds, if a new mutation appears, it can be transmuted to another species of lovebirds and after breeding for several generations remains 100% purified in the new species.
Why in peafowl is not it? If a new mutation appears in the blue peafowl, it is transmuted to the green peacock but is called spalding and does not become 100% pure in the green peafowl. For example, Why are there no green pied peafowl and we only get to spalding Pied.
If spalding pieds are reproduce with pure greens for several generations will you never get green pieds?
Thanks for the clarifications.

Good question. Maybe someone like @KsKingBee will knw.

Once you mix the blood of the Green with the Blue it can never be undone. There will always be a small percentage of one another's blood in the offspring. This is why the term 'Spalding' is important because you can never get the Blue blood out of the Spaulding to return it back to pure Green. To date, no Green bird has ever mutated to other colors or patterns, that all comes from mixing the Blue mutations into the Greens.

In India ... in the wild you can find rarely but you can find white peacock.
They are not exactly like domestic white peacocks.

I have never seen a green peacock with the pattern white in the wild (pur green) ... whatever the subspecies.
In China we find pure green peacocks with some white feathers.

In the domestic peacock, the white pattern arrived well before the pied pattern.

Here we have a scheme of a transmutación of lovebird adapted to peafowl

Pure indian blue x Pure green = blue-green (50% blood blue and 50% blood green)=F1
- Pure green x F1 =blue-green (25% blood blue and 75% blood green)= F2
- Pure green x F2 =blue-green (12,5% blood blue and 87,5% blood green)= F3
-Pure green x F3 =blue-green (6,25% blood blue and 93,75% blood green)=F4
- Pure green x F4 =blue-green (3,13% blood blue and 96,87% blood green)= F5
- Pure green x F5 =blue-green (1,57% blood blue and 98,43% blood green)=F6

This F6 chicks are pure Green... This scheme can't be used in peafowl?

Some people say that the F2 generation goes in all directions ... and some young peacocks return to the blue peacocks ... I think they are mistaken ... it's illogical!

No, the percentages are not true. The amount of Green or Blue varies in each bird, the ONLY true percentage is 50% when one pure is bred to another pure bird. From there each chick will get more or less than even siblings from the same mating. @AugeredIn would be better explaining it than me in technical terms.
