NEW ORLEANS, May 10 (UPI) -- A peacock that has been allowed to roam free in a New Orleans neighborhood for more than a decade has become the center of controversy after causing havoc during mating season.
While some neighbors claim that neighborhood fixture Mr. P has become a nuisance, damaging vehicles and other property, resident Lisa Palumbo has launched a Facebook campaign in support of the peacock.
"He showed up in our neighborhood after Katrina and has been a fixture here for over a decade," Palumbo wrote. "Everyone adores him except a very, very small few who reported him to the SPCA for pecking at his reflection in parked cars."
Some neighbors told WDSU that in addition to pecking at cars, Mr. P has also damaged gardens and can be heard crying out all throughout the day.
