A resident was shocked to find a Peacock roaming around Braintree this morning.
Marcella Woods was on her way to the gym when she saw the bird wandering on Mill Lane.
On her way back, the Peacock was still there.
Marcella said: "I knew he was hungry so a ran up stairs and got him some cereal and water.
"It’s made my day.
"The beautiful Peacock was on Mill Lane, next to my road. I was so happy it took my food."
