Look what my neighbour found causing a traffic jam

[Bill & Ted]

I assume it’s an Emmu?

 

[piggieminder]

There were a couple of emu farms in the Perranporth area when I lived down there. Such a funny sight in the Cornish countryside!

 

[Betsy]

Ooo an Emu! Not what you expect to see on a cold February day in Cornwall!

 

[Bill & Ted]

Ooo an Emu! Not what you expect to see on a cold February day in Cornwall!

I don’t know if we have Emmu crossings

 

[VickiA]

Was he out looking for Rod Hull?

 

[Claire W]

Aw I love emu’s Definitely not what you expect to see in Cornwall

 

[BossHogg]

This is what we have to put up with!

 

[Bill & Ted]

Turns out this bird was a Rhea

Ah I was going to say looks like a Rhea. I used to look after two when I worked in an animal sanctuary. They were lovely but I was always very wary of them as they ran so fast and only senior members of staff were allowed in with them. They’re such inquisitive animals though would always follow you when out in the other fields etc. Was this one owned and escaped or are they loose around there ? Maybe a silly question but not something you see every day

Oh I love this. We used to have peacocks around us and you’d see them hanging out with the ducks and geese by the lake. Or casually crossing the roadHaven’t seen them for a good year now though

There's a convenience store on the estate where I live. The owner has a large group of peacocks and peahens. They wander all over the estate far and wide.

We have no idea? It was on a road not far from the A30 so good it was caught

My aunties neighbour, who was rather an eccentric doctor kept several, they roamed all the gardens depositing rather large droppings everywhere, my auntie hated them
