The bird, an ostrich-like, flightless bird native to South America, was first spotted by a member of the public on Friday at around 6.30pm. On Sunday morning, East Hertfordshire rural police attended a further sighting of the bird, and tweeted: “PC Watson & PCSO Steve have located the Rhea, the problem is they can’t keep up with it.”
It is believed that two rheas escaped from a property in Essex in February and have now traveled into East Hertfordshire. While police will become involved if the birds pose a danger to public safety, for example if they walk into a road, it is the responsibility of the owners to locate and capture the birds.
