Peacocks spotted on rooftops in Tuckswood area of Norwich

Rose Weaver, who lives in Locksley Road in Tuckswood, was greeted by the sight of a peacock pair perched on her neighbours’ roof.

The birds, which have been identified as Indian Blue peacocks, were perfectly content perched on the roof.

“I was a bit shocked,” Miss Weaver said.

“I thought they could fly a little bit. I didn’t think they could fly onto a house!"

Users on Facebook have been in touch with Rose to see if the birds were theirs, but have concluded Tuckswood is too far for them to have flown. 

Rose added: “My daughters' school has peacocks, as well as a friend of mine, so I knew they were kept as pets - they are obviously more popular than I realised."

Peacocks are capable of flight but usually only over short distances.
