Peacocks are lazy birds

Dear Andy: My daughter wants a peacock for a pet. I checked with the city and they are allowed, but is a peacock really a proper pet? - Jen in Boston

Dear Jen: Peacocks are lazy birds. They just sit around all day, displaying their feathers like their god’s gift to color or something. Everyone knows rainbows hold that title. So here’s what you do. Buy her a chicken and a 6-pack of Krylon. Your daughter can build her own peacock, and you’ll get eggs to boot.
