The gang of four unruly fowl get their late-night kicks munching on discarded Kentucky Fried Chicken before engaging in loud sexual activity

They have been conducting their reign of terror at Accrington in Lancashire where resident Ann Holden, 58, admitted: "They do make a lot of noise because they're mating and they squawk and scream.

"They jump on my roof, but they are fine and it's no trouble whatsoever."

Another resident, Samantha Wood, 26, added: "The peacocks go to KFC to get food and they stop traffic in Hyndburn Road.

"I suppose it stops traffic going too fast. They are lovely creatures and don't attack."

No one seems to know who owns the pesky peacocks and many homeowners are furious at being subjected to the "horrendous" noises, which are at their height during the summer mating season.

The birds are kept alongside geese on spare land, but no-one has come forward to claim ownership of the blasted birds.

Deputy leader of Hyndburn Council, Councillor Clare Pritchard confirmed the council was investigating fowl play.

She said: "I have never had a complaint until the last couple of weeks. We don't know who is responsible for them.

"When I have been to KFC, I have seen them on the car park. They eat chicken."
