Peacocks: Beauty or Nuisance?

After looking through a number of documentaries and informational videos on YouTube regarding the peacock, I came across many that asked this exact question. For the peacocks that have been taken out of their natural habitat and placed in residential areas, many have had to ask themselves whether these vivaciously colored birds are overwhelmingly beautiful creatures or nuisances to to the neighborhood. As the video explains, the peacocks in Palos Verdes, California are not native to the area and were in fact brought over in 1924 from the Catalina Island as a gift from the island's owners. While there are a few residents that see the animal as aesthetically pleasing and as an animal they can enjoy living amongst, a majority of PV's residents see the bird as annoying, loud and intrusive. I myself am more partial to the side that sees the beauty of the Peacock not only because I am a lover of all animals, but also because I grew up with a Peacock until the age of 3. Which side do you guys think you would be on? Do you think the drivers who at times run over the peacocks are justified when they say they are "just birds"? What could be done to create peace between the angry residents and the peacocks that live in PV?
