I couldn't help but smile when I heard this and thought back about twenty years to when my sister and her husband bought a weekend retreat in the Yorkshire countryside. "Oh, it is lovely, there are beautiful peacocks wandering about with their babies, They even come and sit on our roof." This has now turned into: "Those bloody peacocks are driving us mad. It is impossible to sleep with all the noise they make - which is worse when they are sitting on your roof!"
