Town Being Terrorized by Flock of 40 Peacocks

  • Residents of Tutbury, Staffs, report that a flock of about 40 peacocks is terrorizing the village with noise and garden damage.
  • The flock grew from just one peacock and a peahen 12 years ago to over 20, with ownership unclear as Tutbury Castle denies responsibility.
  • The birds squawk loudly from dawn until 2 a.m., climb on roofs, trample flowers, and leave droppings, disturbing many neighbors including retired residents.
  • Tutbury Parish Council, chaired by Francis Crossley, has urged residents not to feed the peacocks, stating feeding worsens the problem and deterring them becomes harder.
  • While some locals appreciate the peacocks as part of Tutbury's charm, most describe them as a serious nuisance causing sleep disruption and property damage, indicating ongoing community tension.
