Published in Weird News
HUNTINGTON, N.Y. (UPI) -- A runaway peacock was returned to its home on a New York farm after being tracked down by local police.
Gulliver, also known as Pea, had been missing from Eddie Armstrong's farm in Lattingtown since April 19.
"First it went to Lattingtown church, then it went to Birch Hill Road, then it went to Bayville Road and that was the last I heard of it until last night. I hear it's in Huntington now," he said.
After hearing Armstrong's story Jenny Lee LaVertu shared a post about the missing peacock to Facebook on Tuesday and took it upon herself to find the bird.
"I am on a quest to find Gulliver the lost peacock," she wrote. No luck tonight. If anyone mentions seeing a peacock in the Huntington Southdown area please text me the time and crossroads.
On Wednesday LaVertu announced that the peacock had been located, as Lloyd Harbor police cornered Gulliver under a metal grating and held him under a blanket until his owner arrived.
"Special thank you to Sgt. Larry Migliore, Officer Joseph Donnaruma and Officer Dennis Guariglia from the Lloyd Harbor Police Department, Gerhard Seitz and his son Nick who are all part of the #PeacockWranglingTeamHuntington," LaVertu wrote on Facebook.
