One peacock farmer in Miaoli’s Toufen bred a unique kind of peacock whose blue and white feathers resemble patterns on traditional Chinese porcelain. When these peacocks proudly display their tail feathers, they look like works of art. FTV brings an exclusive look at these beautiful birds.
This moving work of art displays its stunning tail feathers, the blue and white colors forming an exquisite pattern reminiscent of traditional Chinese porcelain.

Compared with common white peacocks and blue peacocks, these porcelain peacocks are more appealing, because when they open their tail feathers, it’s even more stunning and beautiful.
When these porcelain peacocks display their tail feathers, different angles bring out different colors. Their owner, Mr. Fan, took over eight years to breed them for this specific appearance.

Through years of observation and selective breeding, we can tell as soon as the peacock hatches whether it’s a porcelain peacock, so our genetic line is very stable now.
While these peacocks look very elegant once full grown, they seem like ordinary chicks when they first hatch. It takes a carefully trained eye and years of experience to tell which chicks will be most valuable.

It’s beautiful because it’s not just a plain blue peacock. The coloring on its back has the look of blue and white porcelain.
About one in 1,000 blue peacocks are born with a mutation that makes their feathers both blue and white. Their stunning, porcelain-like appearance shows the passion and dedication of Taiwanese peacock farmers.

苗栗達人繁殖特殊孔雀 羽翼開屏猶如"青花瓷藝術品"
2026-05-04
在苗栗縣頭份市，有飼養達人自然繁殖出罕見的特殊種孔雀，開屏時羽翼布滿藍白相間的裂紋，遠看就像一件會動的青花瓷藝品，相當具有觀賞性。現在，透過我們的鏡頭，一睹青花瓷孔雀的美貌。
孔雀開屏，視覺震撼，藍白交織線條，有如潑墨藝術，在羽翼上勾勒出如同宋代青花瓷般的瓷裂感，彷彿行動藝術品。

“青花瓷孔雀來講，其實它跟一般常見的白孔雀跟藍孔雀，比起來來講，牠當然是更討喜，因為牠開屏的時候，更具觀賞力，更漂亮。”
青花瓷孔雀，展開的羽毛，還會因為角度不同，產生不同的顏色，而這是飼養達人范進軒花了8年時間才有的成果。

“經過我們多年的觀察，以及重新配對，小孔雀一出殼，我就能夠判斷說，牠是不是一個確定是青花瓷孔雀，所以我們的基因算是很穩定的狀態了。”
別看青花瓷孔雀貴氣逼人，其實在換羽前，就像平凡的醜小鴨，因此要在眾多雛鳥中一眼識破誰是未來珍寶，全靠經驗累積。

牠漂亮的是在孔雀牠不是單一的藍孔雀，牠背上的顏色有那種瓷裂感。”
根據了解，青花瓷孔雀是藍孔雀突變的特殊色系，出現機率僅千分之一，而這麼流動的青花瓷藍，不僅令人驚艷，更讓人看見台灣職人對珍禽研究的瘋狂與執著。
