JUST IN: Escaped peacock back at Bronx Zoo after spending night in tree
Despite all efforts from the NYPD and FDNY to safely capture the beautiful bird, he appeared to make it quite clear he wanted to stay perched up high. After all, trying to capture a bird with feathers five feet long likely isn't something first responders are accustomed to doing.His name was actually given to him by members of the community who were very surprised to see a peacock in a nearby tree.
The Bronx Zoo's nearly 100 peafowl roam freely on its grounds, as they have since 1926, and have been known to stray occasionally. One similarly flew away in 2011. "Raul" didn't only escape, he also committed a bit of a crime. "Raul" allegedly pecked at a man Wednesday night as the man was trying to help it.
"He tried to trap it off of somebody's parking lot in someone's parking garage up the block," eyewitness Chris Gutter said. "Raul wasn't having it, Raul flew over the parking lot gate, started coming down here, he started to chase him over here, and I guess he got too close to Raul, Raul took a peck at him, he flew up in this tree first on this side and got tangled up and flew from here to over there and Raul has been over here for the past three hours now.
