The flightless bird, which is native to Australia and related to the ostrich, escaped from its home in East Bridgewater, just south of Boston, by jumping over a 6-foot fence.
The emu ran from her home in East Bridgewater all the way to neighboring Brockton.“They can do about 35 , so she was flying,” the bird’s owner, Lee Flaherty, told the news outlet. “She ran all the way up to an intersection and then cut into a field. I got up to her in the field and was walking with her and she wouldn’t come. She was terrified.
”The emu twisted and turned through neighboring Brockton for more than three hours, crossing intersections and running next to cars until Flaherty and a bystander finally caught Mallory in a shopping center parking lot. Mallory was brought back to her pen after her long journey to reconnect with her companion, Mickey, WCVB reported. Share this article:
