An Albino Peacock

I once had a friend whose mother raised peacocks commercially in her (rather vast) garden. It was a racket at times, but I always admired the kind of person who would be able to pull that off. The other day I found these two beauties (at a safe distance from each other). I have seen albino peacocks before but this was the first time I brought a nice camera with me. I include the normal peacock for your reference. Now I have a new and impossible dream: to become the world’s first albino peacock breeder! I am sure someone zoologically inspired person out there can tell me more about how common these mutants are in the wild and in zoos around the world.
