Today's peacock news

Vegas legend Wayne Newton is in hot water with his neighbors over bad behavior by his alleged peacocks. The birds have been "squawking, scratching family cars and creating a traffic hazard," reports Billboard. "We heard something on our roof that scared us to death," one neighbor told the local paper. "We thought a burglar was breaking in, but it was a bunch of peacocks."

Newton no longer lives at the property in question, which has been turned into a museum spotlighting his career. The singer's lawyer says the birds aren't theirs. "We've never bought a peacock. We've never brought in a peacock. These are feral peacocks. It's a neighborhood problem, not a Newton problem."
