A loud peacock was captured after six months of dominating the area by imitating female bird calls.

Saataj the peacock had been causing quite a commotion in the neighborhood of Gravesend, Kent. As the breeding season approached, he became rather noisy while sitting on a roof, making loud calls in search of a mate. The locals had affectionately named him Saataj and had grown quite fond of him. He was often seen perched on fences and roofs, and even sleeping in a tree.

The community had taken a liking to Saataj and would often offer him food and keep an eye out to make sure he was safe. However, as his calls grew louder and more persistent, some residents became concerned and reached out to Dartford Animal Rescue for help.

The staff at the rescue organization felt that it would be best to relocate Saataj to an environment where he could interact with other peacocks and possibly find a girlfriend. After spotting him sitting on a bungalow roof, they used the clever tactic of playing peahen noises to coax him down. They were then able to carefully catch him and place him in an Ikea carrier bag.

Ciara O'Hare, who runs the rescue organization, explained that Saataj had been roaming the area for several months, often crossing a main road to sleep in a tree at night. The neighbors had all grown attached to him and had even given him the name Saataj. However, as breeding season approached, his loud calls had become a cause for concern.

The rescue team, consisting of Ciara, her sister Rosie, and volunteer Melissa, were experienced in catching birds, but had never caught a peacock before. Rosie, in particular, had a lot of experience and was able to make the entire process stress-free for Saataj.

Once captured, Saataj was taken to The Retreat Animal Rescue Farm Sanctuary in Ashford, where he was introduced to other peacocks and peahens. The sanctuary also had a cafe, so the residents who had been looking after Saataj could visit him there.

Rosie expressed her happiness for Saataj, knowing that he now had the chance to make friends and find the girlfriend he so desperately wanted. The neighborhood of Gravesend, Kent would surely miss their noisy and beloved peacock, but they were relieved to know that he was in good hands at the sanctuary.
