Peacock moves into family home - PHOTO

A peacock has become tame enough to enter a family home after becoming accustomed to living in the garden and eating bird seed.
The peacock, who sleeps in a tree and spends the day in the family's garden in South Normanton, Derbyshire, has begun exploring the kitchen when the back door is left open. The stray male, named Sheru by Bhajan Pabla and his wife Kulwinder, briefly went missing last week but has since returned after being found roaming the streets.
 
Mr Pabla, 56, told the Derby Telegraph: ''He's quite a cocky bird. If we leave the back door open he'll poke about the kitchen.

''Some kids chased him away from my garden. He ran off towards Showcase Cinema and that was the last I saw of him. We wondered how difficult it was to lose a peacock."

Chris Hunt, from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, warned that it may not be long before the animal leaves again. He said: ''It may begin to wander further as it gets older and starts to think about breeding.''
