Pete the peacock flew the coop on his first night in Kingsbrae Garden, on the southern shores of New Brunswick. That was about two months ago -- and it's been a wild goose chase ever since.
The fowl arrived June 16 in the town of Saint Andrews and was placed in quarantine before the one-year-old peacock could be introduced to others.
"There is like a branch and stuff that the peacock could get up on," he said. "So, what we were hoping is that indeed a fox did dig in, but the peacock jumped up where the fox couldn't get him and then the fox left. The bird just went out the same hole." "I don't know what the chances of having two peacocks roaming around freely in New Brunswick are, but that's what happened to us," Henderson said with a laugh.
"The hard part is catching them, right?" Henderson said. "They're not the easiest thing to catch. They're pretty quick -- pretty smart. But we were able to eventually catch him."
