A feisty pheasant terrorises a poor postie every day by 'nipping at his ankles' as he delivers letters.
The feathered menace was caught on camera chasing after the postman and repeatedly lunging at his legs.
One video captured by window cleaner Chris Stubbs showed the bird relentlessly hounding Mark Brough late last month.
Poor Mark can be seen swinging his bag in a desperate bid to scare off the winged terror but the pheasant doggedly pursues him down the street.
The dad-of-two claims the bird is often in hot pursuit of him on his route in Cheddleton, Staffordshire, and that residents of Vale View have 'had enough' of the beaked bully.
The 49-year-old says he sees the humour in the situation, despite having been nipped by the pheasant on previous occasions and resident saying his 'mayhem' has become a 'regular thing'.
From the safety of his van, Mark has filmed his own clip teasing the bird with jokes about 'pheasant pie'.
In response the winged fiend can be squaring up to the camera Ronnie Pickering style, before pecking the phone out of the postie's hand.
Mark, from Leek, Staffordshire, said: "The street is only a little street, but the bird is causing mayhem.
"I've had geese come after me before, but never a pheasant.
"I think this is a wild pheasant that somebody on the street is feeding and I'll have an encounter with the pheasant most days.
"I think a lot of the residents have had enough of it, because it keeps attacking people.
"It did nip me on my leg a few weeks ago. It didn't hurt, but you don't expect it.
"I saw Chris filming the video from a distance. I'm up for a bit of fun though, I thought it was funny."
Chris, 35, captured the video while on a job in Cheddleton, Staffordshire, and admits that he's fallen victim to the pheasant too.
Chris said: "This pheasant is always on the street. Mark is getting it from him every day, it's become a regular thing.
"There's a family that run the local shoot and they breed pheasants, so there's a high population of them in that area.
"This one seems to have taken that street as its territory.
"It tends to only go after Mark. But to be fair, after he left, I carried on window cleaning and it started following me around as well. It's a very aggressive bird.
"I just thought the video would be funny to people in the area and friends."
Once Chris shared the video to Facebook, friends took to the comments as they laughed at Mark's predicament.
Anthony Brown commented: "Bet that was a rather unpheasant surprise."
Another commenter wrote: "My ex used to get attacked by a rooster everyday..ended up posting the mail in the customers mum's house next door."
Andy Clifford said: "The bird whisperer. In all seriousness, stunning looking birds, great colours."
