The historic Cathedral of St. John the Divine is located in New York City on the Upper West Side. The grounds include an elementary school, and three peacocks: Jim, Harry, and Phil, named after dignitaries of the Chapel and school. The birds are beloved, and often appear in the local media. No Peacocks! is a humorous fictional adventure starring the real birds._x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Every day, Harry, Phil, and Jim are fed birdseed. And one day, they decide they are sick of it. They storm out into the city streets (the birds do frequently escape the grounds) in search of pizza or Chinese takeout.
