Peacock captured after going awol while missus was expecting

  • 5 years ago
A peacock that chickened out and went AWOL while his missus was expecting chicks has returned home after two weeks on the run.

Cheeky peacock, Major, fled from his home leaving mate Priscilla, who was sat on the couple's eggs for four weeks pining for her partner.

The mischievous bird missed the birth of his five fluffy chicks who were born while he was at large.

It's the second time Major has escaped from his pen at Abertay Guest House, near Broughty Ferry, Dundee.
