Locals Get Rude Awakening After Loud Peacock Roosts on Roof

First, an evening of loud mating calls, then a rude awakening with more shrieking: a peacock certainly wasn’t trying to win friends when it decided to roost overnight on a roof in a Missouri City, Texas, neighborhood recently.

Footage by Jeanette Morales shows the bird on the roof of her mother’s house on June 9.

She said she initially thought that a branch had fallen onto the roof as a result of recent storms, before realizing it was in fact a peacock.

Morales said the bird made “mating calls at night repeatedly” before giving locals a morning wake-up call. It eventually took off when a lawn guy showed up, she told KHOU. Credit: Jeanette Morales via Storyful
