But a voice, as familiar as my own mother’s, asked “You’re here to see Bob Barker?” There was Bob, jokingly parodying himself! I was visiting Bob at his home to interview him about his new memoir, Priceless Memories. As a kid who grew up on The Price is Right on TV, the book is a treasure trove of vignettes from Bob’s incredible career in radio and television. It’s also a fascinating account of Bob’s decades of animal advocacy — Bob closed every episode of Price with this famous line: “Help control the pet overpopulation problem, have your pets spayed or neutered!” But his com- “I wouldn’t have mitment goes much deeper than that.

Although there are many species of peafowl, India blue peacocks, with their iridescent blue-green plumage, are the peacocks most Americans think of when peacocks are mentioned. The population of India blue peafowl on the Peninsula is particularly vibrant because, despite the presence of predators, the population is large enough to generate genetically robust and healthy individuals.2 Originally from India and resident on the Peninsula since the 1920s, peacocks, peahens, and peachicks are so numerous that they may constitute the largest wild flock of pure India blue peafowl in the United States.
