Mom Rebecca Gittoes, 34 years old, went to Paignton Zoo in Devon Saturday with her partner and two children.
But after only one hour of being there, son Ezra was attacked by the cruel birdie.

The zoo has since remarked that there are signs that warn visitors that peacocks may occasionally peck.
Rebecca, who stated that her family regularly visited the zoo, explained how the four stopped at one of the picnic areas of the attraction prior to the attack.
She claimed staff ‘did not seem concerned’ when she logged the incident with the zoo’s reception on their way out to the hospital.
Rebecca said:
She further added the zoo has not been in touch since the incident.
‘To be honest I just feel so angry,’ she added.

The attack comes after a six-year-old girl was left covered in blood after a peacock clawed her nose in the same zoo in 2018.
