A sleep-deprived lorry driver made a cockerel 'wobbly' and 'unable to walk' with brain damage because its constant crowing kept waking her up.
Caroline Smith said she reached the end of her tether and became 'very, very angry' when the bird - an Araucana breed - kept waking her up in the early hours of the morning.
The 52-year-old eventually resorted to taking things into her own hands when the issue wasn't resolved and she was once again disturbed by its crowing.
