Laura Brown of Apopka said she and her son arrived at Magnolia Park just before noon, hoping to spend a day playing in the sun.

"We got out of the car and the peacocks came to us," Brown said in an interview with WKMG. "I look down for one second, and I turned around and the peacock was on top of his head with its talons, flapping his wings."

The mom rushed over to help, but the bird wouldn't back off, she said.

Moments later, the 2-year-old was bloodied, and wounded. His mom said the peacock's claws tore through her boy's head, and one of the scratches narrowly missed his eye.

"It was just so scary to see your child in the talons of a peacock," Brown said.

Brown immediately took her son to an urgent care facility, where doctors used surgical glue to close the gash. Little Jackson will also be taking antibiotics for the next week.

While the scars will heal, little Jackson appears to be traumatized by the attack, repeating, "not nice birdie."

"He's going to be scared by peacocks for the rest of his life," Orange County Public Information Officer Doreen Overstreet speculated to InsideEdition.com after hearing about the attack. "They're so pretty, but I've heard peacocks are really feisty."

Overstreet said Magnolia Park, home to 12 peacocks, is the only park in the region with peacocks. She said she is not sure how they got there.

"Patrons do feed the peacocks," Overstreet said. "This does cause wildlife to become too comfortable around people."

While the city has no plans to banish the peacocks, she told InsideEdition.com they are working with park rangers to set up temporary signs warning people not to interact with the wildlife, before permanent signs are installed.

"We're monitoring the options," Overstreet said.

But, the concerned mother said that's not enough: "I think that having an animal around where the children's play equipment that has already attacked a child, that's unacceptable."

According to Overstreet, another child was pecked by a peacock about a year ago.

The teenage son of Australian musician Nick Cave fell to his death after taking the hallucinogenic drug LSD, an inquest in England has heard.

Arthur Cave, 15, suffered a "catastrophic" head injury after plunging from a cliff in Brighton, East Sussex, on July 14.

Witnesses described seeing the student "walking, staggering and zig-zagging" before standing "dangerously" close to the cliff edge moments before he fell.

Arthur and a friend - who can't be named for legal reasons - had earlier taken LSD, also known as acid, an inquest in Brighton was told.

Members of the public tried to resuscitate him after he was found lying on the underpass of Ovingdean Gap without any shoes or socks, but he died later at Royal Sussex County Hospital.

Veronica Hamilton-Deeley, senior coroner for Brighton, on Tuesday recorded a conclusion of accidental death.

She said: "I expect the decision and planning to take LSD, or a hallucinogenic drug likely to be LSD, was made on the spur of the moment."

"It's clear he could not know what was real and what was not real. It's completely impossible to know what was in Arthur's mind and what he was seeing," she said.

Cave and his wife Susie briefly walked out of the courtroom before graphic details of their son's injuries were read out from a post-mortem examination report.

The coroner said the cause of death was "unsurvivable head injuries due to a witnessed fall from a cliff".

A contributory factor was the recent ingestion of a hallucinogenic drug.

The boy who took LSD with Arthur said he researched online about the effects of the drug but had not read anything about the "darker side".

The pair had arranged to take the drug on a grassy area near Rottingdean Windmill in Brighton.

In a summary of the boy's statement, Detective Constable Vicky Loft the court: "Arthur was hesitant but said if they were worrying about things it would have an effect on the trip and make it a more negative experience."

"They decided to take one together at the same time. They took a tablet each, placed it on their tongue and waited for the effects to start," she said.

The boy said he and Arthur took three tablets between them and they were initially in "good spirits and happy", but he then started having "vivid hallucinations", including seeing patches of oil on the grass and shapes and colours in the sky.

Det Const Loft said: "(The boy) became paranoid and felt like people were staring at him in cars. He couldn't tell what was real and what was not real."

"He thought he could see Arthur covered in vomit but wasn't sure if it was real."

The boy said he was not sure if he and Arthur walked off together but he recalled they went their "separate ways".

Cave, who clutched a tissue during the inquest, hugged his wife after the hearing.

In a statement issued later the Cave family thanked the coroner, medics who treated Arthur and members of the public who helped at the scene.

They said they'd been overwhelmed by the many messages of support since.

"Arthur was a wonderfully unruly, creative and free-spirited young man with an infectious, happy, funny daredevil nature," the family said.

"He loved his friends and family, idolised his twin brother Earl and was never far from his side. And we loved him back - to his core - and we miss him deeply."
