Police have launched an operation to remove three peacocks that have become popular community mascots. The birds are fed by residents every day, have their own road signs and even appear on their own Facebook page.
However, on Wednesday (June 7) Rural Crime Team and environmental health officers arrived to try and take them away as the street is "not their natural habitat". Reggie the peacock and peahens Rosie and Ruby live on Glenwood Gardens, a cul-de-sac in Bedworth, Warwickshire, and an online petition has been set up to save them.
Reggie has been a favourite with locals for almost nine years, CoventryLive reports. He used to roam around with his brother Ronnie, but when Ronnie moved, the community decided to bring in female friends Ruby and Rosie to offer company.
