THE UNRULY RABBLE CLIMB ON ROOFTOPS AND MUNCH ON THEIR VEGETABLE PATCHES AND VILLAGERS SAY 'THEY’RE A PAIN IN THE BACKSIDE' AND 'ABSOLUTE NUISANCE' 09:08, 03 Jun
2025Updated 09:09, 03 Jun 2025 A rowdy mob of 40 peacocks is ruffling feathers in a quaint village. The noisy flock have been pooping on driveways, wrecking gardens and squawking for 22
hours a day - sometime past 2am. Miserable villagers in Tutbury, Staffs, say the unruly rabble climb on rooftops and munch on their vegetable patches. Retired dinner lady Marion West, 71,
said: “They’re up half the night squawking and keep you awake. I squirt them with a water pistol if they come near me. If you’re not careful, they poo everywhere, and it’s such a mess. “They
eat your flowers too, they’re a pain in the backside. And when they walk on your roof, it sounds like you’ve got burglars.” Another local resident, who did not wish to be named, said:
“They’re an absolute nuisance, making noise first thing in the morning. Article continues below “When I moved here 12 years ago, there was one peacock and a peahen, and now there’s well over
20. They gather on the roofs and keep us all awake, they’re absolutely terrible.” Another local added: “They’re such a nuisance, getting all on your plants and making a mess everywhere. I
mean, they’re lovely birds, but when they’re up at 5.30am squawking, you don’t need it. As to who owns them, I don’t think anyone really knows.” But Heather Hunter-Harris, 63, who has lived
in the area for more than 16 years, said the peacocks were part of Tutbury’s charm. She said: “They are loud, and they’re up early. But most birds are. They’re cheeky, and if they can get
food out of you they will, but I just don’t feed them. “People come here to see the peacocks, and when they put their tails up, it looks lovely. You’ve just got to be tolerant, keep out
their way, and let them get on with it.” Tutbury Parish Council has now told villagers to stop feeding the peacocks after admitting they had become a “serious problem”. Council chair Francis
Crossley said he believed there were 26 peacocks during the council’s last count but there could now be up to 40. Article continues below He added: “Some people love them, but some people
can’t bear them, it’s a Marmite situation.”
