The RSPCA has launched an appeal to trace the owner of a "tricky to catch" peacock in Birmingham.
Peacock
Footage posted on Twitter by RSPCA inspector Herchy Boal shows the bird flying onto the roof of a property in the city's Handsworth area.
Boal reports that the peacock has been terrorising gardeners by snatching food from vegetable patches.
He said: "We were made aware of a peacock who was wandering around the Farcroft Grove area of Birmingham.
"He seems quite happy and is strutting around the gardens and helping himself to homegrown veg but we’d like to try to catch him so we can get him back to his owner or find him a suitable home.
"He appears to have some string caught around his leg but is flying well so has been a bit tricky to catch."
