Spalding
(sometimes appears as Spaulding)
The term Spalding is used to describe peacocks that have Green Peafowl somewhere in their lineage.
Spalding peafowl are often described as being "high percentage Spalding" or "low percentage Spalding," which refers to the percentage of Green blood either known to be in the peafowl's lineage or that is assumed, through visual clues, to be in the peafowl's lineage. A higher percentage indicates that a peafowl has (or appears to have) more Green blood.
Please note that unless the percentage of Green blood for any given bird is known with certainty, it is not indicated on the pictures included here.
