A young peacock found strutting his stuff in suburban Perth has a new home after doing time in an animal shelter.
He also has a new name: Gerald.
The juvenile bird was seen wandering in Westminster about a month ago and was cared for at the RSPCA Animal Care Centre in Malaga while the owner was sought.
