Residents in a flap over a flock of feral peacocks in a south-east Brisbane suburb have voted on a resolution.

The birds have been a pest for some residents for years, prompting complaints and petitions to be lodged with Brisbane City Council.

Peacocks have run amok throughout Mackenzie, with one resident petitioning for their removal owing to their loud noise, mess and booming population. Only three people signed that petition to council.

But a survey run by Chandler councillor Ryan Murphy was more successful, with 66 people responding to his questions about what to do with the birds.
