Superb first book on peacocks.
Really liked this book. A peacock adopted me and I knew nothing about them. I purchased two books and this one was superior to the other one.It is not an advanced book for a serious breeder, but then few of us so aspire. I recommend it.

Very Informative
This was a very informative book. I read it from start to finish the day I bought it. Only thing I wish is that I'd bought it BEFORE we had peacocks to care for. The author covered a lot of bases that I hadn't even thought about. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering raising or fostering peacocks.

Peacock plethora of information
The book has every iota of information on peacocks. Gave to a friend who just began raising the huge birds. She was pleased with the book and information. Hers have grown in 6 months to huge pterodactyl size. Great information for beginner breeders.

Could this be plagiarized book on Peacocks or 'PLR' copies? Otherwise, good book ...
I was seriously investigating raising peacocks and was looking for a few good, but simple to read and understand, book or two on raising peacocks.First - the book(s) read very simply, like someone who had grown up on a farm or had a high school education and really strived to right the content properly. Some of the content actually seemed to be sourced from encyclopedias or even perhaps Wikipedia. I didn't get the impression that the majority of it was written by one person. Having said that, the majority of the content was useful, and it helped me make a decision to not pursue peacock breeding or raising because the book ended up convincing me it would be too hard for the amount of effort required to go into breeding and raising peacocks.Second, I purchased two books - with different authors and different front covers. Finished the first book cover to cover and then started reading the second book and ... hmmm ... something interesting is going on there.Imagine my dismay that I had wasted my money on an almost duplicate book for content.The books are either PLR (Private Label Rights) books that are content sold by an original content producer, then sold to authors who are to 'change it up a bit' then resell the content with new covers.OrThere is a serious copyright or plagiarism issue going on with one of the authors (maybe more, who knows?). I have a sample of Chapter Seven on both books and if you are able to see the tiny images, there are full paragraphs that are word-for-word to each other. LITERALLY FULL PARAGRAPHS throughout both books are word-for-word copy and paste.Third, if this is plagiarism, then authors should be made aware someone has stolen your work.If this is PLR - then shame on both authors for not adding new content and changing up the content and using other folks content to produce copies of books on Amazon.

Great book for someone wanting to know about Peacocks, etc.
This book was a Christmas gift for my grandson. He has peacocks and peahens. His dream is to be a farmer someday. This book was perfect for him.

For the Back Yard Hobbiest. Great start
One of the few books written for hobbies ya like me. We do fowl rescue and were given a Chinese white peahen several years ago. Last summer we acquired a male for her. This was very helpful in understanding more about these glorious creatures!

Informative
We are a new parents of three peafowls. This is a great book for beginners. I feel confident taking care of our babies and give them what they need.

Fabulously informative and easy to read
Fabulously informative and easy to read. Excellent introduction. My only criticism is that all the pictures are in Black and White which, given the subject matter, is a little disappointing. However I bought it for the information which is excellent, hence the 5 stars

For the Novice
The book is not bad but I did find it somewhat superficial and lacking detail. In all fairness other reviews stated the same and indicated that it was for beginners. I did not see a lot of books on this topic and thought I would get it. After reading through it and it is a quick read and you would not be missing much to read the 142 pages in a couple hours. In fact it could have been condensed down quite a few pages and not lose anything in terms of useful content. It really is for the person getting Peafowl for the first time but if you have any experience I would not get it. I am not sure what book I would recommend but it would not be this one. On the positive side, the book arrived quickly, it is well constructed and the font/layout is clear.

Good place to start for information.
Very informative, but does seem to contradict itself in places. For those thinking of having Peacocks I would recommend reading this. It certainly made our decision to have peacocks a lot easier.
