A peacock had to be captured after it terrorised a 92-year-old farmer's chickens.

Tom Walne, or Farmer Tom as he is more affectionately known across Suffolk, said the peacock appeared at his farm near Copdock on Monday.

While initially the bird was getting along with his chickens, things took a turn and the bird decided to cause mayhem and chase after the cockerels.

I think this theory covers about 80% of the sudden change in behaviour. The last 20% can probably be attributed to the fact that cockerals are arseholes, so they might have also pissed off the peacock.
