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

What would you name a pet peacock that your neighbor unexpectedly gave you? What if he'd given you three? Sean Flynn and family went with Carl, Ethel, and Mr. Pickle — obvious choices, really.

A blend of memoir and animal history and journalism, Flynn shares his first years into being the owner of these regal birds, sharing the history of the bird’s notoriety and presence in the media. If that wasn’t enough, his research and journalism lead him around the globe. Not to be missed is the story of a SoCal peacock serial killer story. Beyond the sensationalism of journalism, Flynn imparts his own experiences into his and others' relationships with their beloved birds.
