Bird rescue results in catch of loud, squawking peacock that spent months on the run
Fox News
A peacock that had begun making "loud" noises as it searched for a mate in a Kent, U.K. neighborhood has finally been caught — and is now being cared for by an animal rescue group.
But when breeding season hit, the peacock started "making loud noises" to try to find a mate — which is when calls were made to Dartford Animal Rescue to try to remedy the situation. "The neighbors became quite concerned." The bird followed the noises to a parking lot behind an apartment building. "Peacocks are ground-feeders that eat insects, plants and small creatures." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
Rescuers reportedly coaxed the bird off a roof by playing peahen noises, leading him into a parking lot — then grabbing him and putting him in an Ikea carrier bag as part of the rescue operation.
