Another resident, Chrissanne Robertson, said the bird was spotted in their street earlier this year and had been seen perched on her front door handle.
“And of course, we all thought it looked lovely, until we saw the damage it was doing to the cars,” she added.
She estimates that the bird has caused thousands of pounds worth of damage during its time on the street.
“Sometimes it leaves, it can be away for a couple of weeks, and we think, ‘oh we won’t see it again’, but then somebody will go out the next day and you’ll here a shout of ‘he’s back again!’.”
