A jealous peacock has been attacking cars after it mistook its reflection for a love rival.
A peacock has been attacking cars after getting confused
The bird has been seen pecking at doors and windows and has left them covered in scrapes and scratches.
The peacock's latest target was a black vehicle in the town of Corsham in Wiltshire, which was left with "bad scratches" after being savaged by the confused bird.
A witness did step in to stop the peacock's assault but it soon returned to take its anger out on the car.
She said: "I don't know if it will polish out. I moved it away but it returned and scratched the front of the car."
The person said she left a note on the windscreen informing the owner of the damage that had been caused by the bird.
Free-roaming peacocks are tourist attractions in several towns in the area and attract thousands of visitors every year.
