Missing peacock returned before leaving again

A missing peacock in western Prince Edward Island, Canada, returned briefly to his enclosure on Tuesday, but took off again before he could be recaptured.

Owner Kevin Cook said his bird Tango was spotted by neighbours. "I went and looked and there was nothing, so he must have, I thought, flew up into the trees or jumped over and gone somewhere in our wooded area, or who knows where.



"But he was gone. It was a short little show that he knows where home is at least. That was the positive out of all that." Cook only recently acquired the four-year-old bird and has been actively trying to find Tango since he went missing.

He is trying to attract him by playing peacock calls on his cellphone. Cook said he's had calls from the mainland from people who've seen peacocks on the loose, but he's pretty sure Tango hasn't wandered that far.
