A rescue mission is under way to save peacocks that have roamed a Cumbria town for years - after three of the birds were found dead
Laura McDonald London told The Cumberland News & Star: "A lot of peacocks end up in shelters because they are unbearably noisy. People think they look great, but the novelty soon wears off."
Alison Simmons said: "Oh gosh I wouldn't complain seeing them walking freely we need a bit more understanding, flowers will regrow these are stunning animals."One resident said her TV aerial had been dislodged by a peacock and a girl had her leg scratched by one of them after she disturbed it in her garden.
Mel James posted on Facebook: “Sadly he hasn’t survived the night. Soo soo sorry there was nothing I could do to save this beautiful boy.”
