Video: Meet the cockerel
who's been labelled a nuisance for crowing too loudly.

Exclusive by Adam Williams

A nuisance neighbour has been ruffling
a few feathers in an idyllic
rural neighbourhood - but the culprit is far from your usual
suspect.

A six-month-old cockerel by the
name of Oonagi, who lives in Black Robin Lane,
Kingston, has been ticked off for making too much noise
and crowing too loudly.

After receiving a letter of complaint
from Canterbury City Council and then a visit from
neighbourhood police officer Paul Gibson last Saturday, his owners
have labelled him "Oonagi The Asbo Cockerel".

Co-owner Maddy Walsh has also
decided to start a campaign called “Free The Kingston One” in case
of further complaints.

Maddy, 21, a security officer,
believes Oonagi has been unfairly targeted.

She added: "We're in a pretty rural
area here and we live out in the country, there's probably more
noise made by the cars going along the A2 nearby or by other
people’s dogs."

A spokesman for the
city council confirmed a complaint has been received
about Oonagi, but that no legal action has yet been taken.
