The Bird That Cries, “HELP!”

With Carol Edholm

Saturday, March 20, 4:00 p.m. Eastern

Join us as we explore a fascinating species of ornamental birds that are beloved, and hated, around the world: The peafowl.  Who are they?  Where did they originate?  Why are they so beloved and hated at the same time?  Find out why people who are unaware of these birds often call the police when their early morning slumbers are shattered by shrill cries of, “Help, help!”
