Despite all efforts to safely capture the bird, Raul is still perched high up in a tree in the Bronx.
Raul was seen earlier in the day near the zoo but decided to go on quite the adventure.He has committed a bit of a crime, as well. The FDNY confirmed that the peacock attacked a nearby bystander who suffered a minor injury.
According to eyewitnesses, Raul allegedly pecked at a man last night who was trying to catch and help him. "He tried to trap it off of somebody's parking lot in someone's parking garage up the block," eyewitness Chris Gutter said. "Raul wasn't having it. Raul flew over the parking lot gate, started coming down here, he started to chase him over here, and I guess he got too close to Raul, Raul took a peck at him. He flew up in this tree first on this side and got tangled up and flew from here to over there, and Raul has been over here for the past three hours now.
