Why Peacocks?: An Unlikely Search for Meaning in the World's Most Magnificent Bird

Sean Flynn, like most of us, had never even considered the idea of owning a peacock, but when his neighbor offered him one, he jumped on board and ended up becoming the proud owner of not just one, but three quirky and temperamental birds: Carl, Ethel, and Mr. Pickle. In Why Peacocks?, Flynn takes us on a wild journey through his first year as a peacock parent. In an effort to learn more, he jets off around the world to learn more about these birds up close and personal, hitting up places like a Scottish castle that's been peacock central for centuries, a southern California community that's got beef with a serial peacock killer, and a Kansas City airport hotel hosting an annual peafowl fan gathering.
