Andar como Pedro por su casa
 
It´s like to feel at home.
In English?

Are you asking an English translation for the phrase or are you wanting someone to verify if you translated the phrase correctly?

I thought that phrase meant with confidence and ease. "Con toda confianza y naturalidad"

That would be "like he owned the place" in English. To feel at home would be different for sure, so maybe I mis-translated the phrase.

Esos pájaros se espantaban cuando yo salía al jardín, pero ahora andan como Pedro por su casa y nunca se van.
Those birds used to get scared when I came out to the garden, but now they behave as if they owned the place and they never leave.

¿Por qué no pides permiso para entrar a mi oficina? Vas y vienes como Pedro por su casa.
Why don't you ask for permission to come into my office? You come and go as if you were at home.

Sí, o por ejemplo:
Estos chicos no tienen ningún respeto, entran a la cocina como Pedro por su casa, se comen todo el queso manchego que tenía para la merienda... y yo me quedo en ayunas... ;) (Bueno, yo me como el jamón...)
