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

Non-fiction

Author Sean Flynn becomes a peacock owner almost accidentally, without preparation or research. He details his experience with the birds as well as historical and factual insights. He is challenged when one peacock becomes seriously ill and needs expensive treatment: “By any standard I would have applied eight months earlier, Carl was too expensive to fix … But last year’s standards were irrelevant.”

Older teens to adults. Disclaimer -- not all the family pets survive, be prepared for some sadness. But, there's some real joy, too.

I recommend "Mabel's World: Thinking Outside the Egg". Mabel is a chicken who is completely herself. She takes up reading, gardening, playing music...upsetting her coop mates because she isn't acting like a chicken. Told in a comic strip style with 106 pages. Written for chicken lovers of all ages: 5 to 95!
