Some peacocks that terrorised a town for years, scratching vehicles and damaging homes, have been found dead after locals branded them a "nuisance".
It is claimed their deaths could be result of angry locals who took "matters into their own hands".
According to reports, 30 of the birds caused problems for residents in the Ellenborough estate in Maryport, Cumbria, with some people complaining that their cars were ruined, adding that the animals were pecking front doors and damaging their kitchens.
