An aristocrat claims a peacock caused £4,000 damage to a blue Lexus car - by trying to have sex with it.
Baronet Sir Benjamin Slade has put in a claim to insurers to cover the damage to his employee's car, reports the Daily Telegraph.
He has also put up warning signs at Maunsel House, in Somerset, after the "peacock blue" Lexus was scratched and dented by the amorous bird.
The incident proves the bird is gay, according to Sir Benjamin, because peahens are brown and only males are blue.
He says the male damaged the car because it looked like "another peacock boy".
"He attacked the panels so hard that the car needs a total respray," he said.
"The insurers, Lloyd's of London, are not very happy about it. They've had claims for all sorts of things like lions biting people.
"But never have they heard of a peacock sexually attacking a car before."
He added, "I've had to ban peacock blue Lexus cars from the car park."
Sir Benjamin Slade previously attracted attention when he sent out advertisements seeking an heir for his estate so that he could live in a council house instead.
