The birds certainly drew attention as they strutted through Morris Park and officials say it is rare that they make it out that far.
Tuesday, May 28, 2024 12:03AMMORRIS PARK, Bronx --Officials say at least five peafowl -- a mix of peacocks and peahens -- made their way outside the zoo on Monday morning.
Neighbors first spotted the flock at the Morris Park train station on Paulding Avenue around 9:30 a.m. "I kind of did a double take and didn't know if I was really seeing a peacock," he said. "I went behind them and made sure that the cars weren't coming."He described it as a community effort, as a number of residents along Paulding Avenue helped round up the birds and get them to safety, trying not to ruffle any feathers along the way.
